"It was only when the store opened I learnt that Hitler had killed six million people." quote of the year 2012

It's better to stop telling yourself this and just realize that he was completely aware of his actions and knew this would generate so much publicity, he didn't do it because of the "luck" it might bring. Why else would he name the store Hitler? I mean I'd love to hear your clearly educated opinion on the matter.
