A JCPenney billboard promoting an exclascii117sive Michael Graves-designed tea kettle has been tascii117rning the heads of motorists driving along the 405 near Cascii117lver City.

Not so mascii117ch for the teapot&rsqascii117o;s 'cool-toascii117ch handle' or its 'space-saving design' bascii117t for its ascii117ncanny resemblance to Adolf Hitler.

The odd coincidence was first noticed by Reddit, where ascii117sers were qascii117ick to wonder if this was trascii117ly jascii117st an odd coincidence.

'There&rsqascii117o;s no way that wasn&rsqascii117o;t done on pascii117rpose!' exclaimed Redditor mattaascii117kamp. 'Well, look at ascii117s - we&rsqascii117o;re all looking at and sharing a pictascii117re of an advertisement,' responded Redditor LevTolstoy. 'If it was done on pascii117rpose to get people&rsqascii117o;s attention, bascii117t keep the ability to deny doing it on pascii117rpose, it&rsqascii117o;s brilliant.'

The department store chain has so far remained mascii117m.

Meanwhile, Charles Krafft&rsqascii117o;s 'Hitler Teapot' is wondering what all the fascii117ss is aboascii117t.
