The controversial sculpture of Hitler at Berlin’s new Madame Tussaud’s wax museum has lasted all of three days. This morning a man described as a “normal, unremarkable type” calmly approached the Führer, then cunningly blitzkrieged him and tore his head off with brute force. After a scuffle with security guards the man was brought to justice. He claimed he was protesting the exhibition.
The wax sculpture of Hitler has been the subject of some controversy. Some are afraid it could turn into a shrine of sorts, and others argue Germany’s history could not possibly be told without making reference to Hitler.
Rumor has it George W. Bush and Tom Cruise still have their heads intact, in case anybody felt like ripping more wax heads off.
