Anti-semitic jokes printed on sugar satchets in Croatia!

Hitler's image, anti-Semitic joke printed on sugar sachet in Croatian town

Feb 16, 2007 (BBC Monitoring via COMTEX) -- [Annoucer] Masters of advertising may be particularly creative and original, but sometimes people with warped values are involved in this business. In some cafes in Gospic [central Croatia] you can get sugar sachets with your cup of coffee, among other things, bearing the picture of Adolf Hitler and a black humour joke about the killing of the Jews.
[Reporter] It is completely normal if you order a coffee in a cafe that you get a sugar sachet with it. The Pozega-based firm Pink printed funny jokes on its sugar sachets, one of which has caused a stir in Gospic. In addition to the picture of the Nazi leader Hitler, the sachet bears an inappropriate anti-Semitic joke. Cafe owners have refrained from commenting on funny jokes printed on the sachets, because - as they said - they have neither written nor printed them; they only order sugar from their suppliers. [Nikola Vukic-Beli, cafe owner] I do not know what you have, but I know from my colleagues that nobody has ordered anything of this kind. [Reporter] As soon as cafe owners were warned about the inappropriate anti-Semitic and Nazi messages on sugar sachets they withdrew them from circulation. [Passage omitted: Gospic citizens interviewed, find the joke unacceptable] [Reporter] We tried to interview someone at the Pink firm, but they were not ready to make a statement for Croatian TV. Given that this kind of thing, even in the form of a joke, is prohibited by law in Croatia, now is the turn for the State Prosecutor's Office to react.

There were several jokes printed on satchets. I could find only two of them. The one is untranslatable (play of words in Croatian), but the other one says:

"Why did Hitler commit suicide?
Because he received the bill for gas!"

Yes this one is legendary.

We know this joke in Slovenia too.

[Caesar Princeps]

I already knew it.

[Susi]

I hadn't heard it.

WARNING: This is a bit nasty.

Auschwitz: a little girl is playing with the sand.
A SS guard passes and asks:
Who are you looking for?

[Susi]

Hum, I guess I can think of a bad joke.

A rabbi walks into the bar and asks where his fellow rabbis are. The barman replies, "In the ash tray".

Such a horrible joke.

Do you know who will win a winter rally between a Nazi and a Jew?
The Jew, because he has got chains.
