I-Mobile,a wireless communications company in Thailand has launched two mobile phones (609i and 609) with Nazi symbols and insignias printed on them.
The phones are designed with three penguins dressed in striped inmate uniforms and helmets saluting to a swastika.

i don't see the problem?
many people before hitler did much crueler things. julius Caeser murderd and slaved thousands of people. Napolean wasn't that kind. Stalin murderd everybody in its way, even famely.
what happend in WO2 was a very sad and dramatic thing, but we have learnd from it.

Is this the right or left facing swastika? The left facing one was the one in which the Nazis did not use.
Rudyard Kipling used the left facing swastika in his books up until 1936.
But the salutations towards the symbol give it away

Budhism is the biggest religion in Thailand and the Swastika is a symbol that the Budhists (among other religions) have been using for ages. You can see it all around asia and it have NOTHING TO TO WITH NAZISM. But that doesnt explain the penguins though.
