Hitler fails as an artist…again
(After the Mumbai terror attacks perhaps some light relief is needed.)
A painting by Hitler from the first world war failed to meet its reserve price of £2,800 at auction. The seller had been given the painting two years ago by her son as a birthday gift, who paid £10,500 for it, but she hated it so much that she was happy to sell it at a loss.
Who buys their mother a painting by Hitler? I can just imagine the scene now:
Proud son: “Mum, I got you a painting by that artist you like.”
Mother: “Actually, I said that I didn’t like Hitler.”
Son: “Oh.”

*ahem* I think it would be poetic justice to burn it…
Uh-oh, sounds like somebody confused Hitler and Whistler!
But surely burning it would make any remaining paintings more valuable.
Who buys their mother a painting by Hitler?
For a tenner, sure why not? But £2,800? fugdatshit.
Who in their right mind would pay ten grand for that crap??
blimey, i would, then i’d flog it to some nazis for loads of money and give the money to anti-racist charities. hehehehe.
