New Celebrity
Endorsements: A Taiwan dis-
wibuting company began an
advertising campaign recently
for German-made — space
heaters, using a smiling Adolf
Hitler character to “Declare
War on the Cold Front”; a
company representative said it
was important to show the
product as being German-
made and that he didn’t think
Taiwanese were very sensitive
about Hitler (but the ads
were pulled in November).

And the Vatican
announced in December that
it was appalled at the Beretta
company’s ad campaign for a
new series of $7,000
“Jubilee”-model guns, which
is also the name of the Roman
Catholic millennium celebra-
tion; the ads’ tagline is “The
pope would like them.”
