Wow, has this ever stirred up a hornet’s nest.
Richie, first about your MOC. You got the basic swastika shape, but little
else. If you want to do space Fascists, you have steep competition -- Keith
Goldman and Paul Brassington come to mind. The spaceship has to be great, and
the scenery has to match. If you want people to get over the shock and get to
the humor, especially on this subject, you really really need to wow your
audience.
Now, a lot of people here seem to be questioning whether it would ever be
appropriate to chuckle at a Nazi-inspired Lego creation. Hey, didn’t any of you
folks ever see Mel Brooks’ History of the
World, Part I? Did you see the “Jews in Space” sketch, with the Star of David
spaceship? Did you laugh? Be honest. Yes, Mr. Brooks was portraying the WWII
underdogs, not the overlords. But it wasn’t exactly a flattering portrayal, was
it?
In real life, of course, one should take issues of inhumanity most seriously.
And maybe kid-friendly Lugnet isn’t quite the place for the under-18 set to see
a Nazi spaceship. But I’m sure that most of you who are posting here are old
enough to know that Lego isn’t real life. Relax a little bit.
FUT off-topic.debate, of course.
