Im not sure if this is cringeworthy, sick, strange, clever marketing or just plain funny? Not that I think there's anything funny with any of the attached connotations!!

Mods, feel free to delete if this is OTT. It certainly isn't meant to be!

It's certainly interesting.

Everybody should know about Uncle A and what he did, and if it promotes discussion about why what he did was so wrong, then it's good. We should never shy away from talking about it.

OTOH if it's making some kind of hero of him, then I have to wonder why anyone would contemplate doing this. Having personally encountered some of the history, I'd challenge anyone to defend what happened.

It is a bit strange, isn't it? I really think it's bizarre with the change of clothes, shoes, etc - it's almost like an Action Man. Very wierd.

BTW, apart from neo-n***s, I don't think there is a person on the planet (innocent children excused) who doesn't know what he did, so I know what you mean!
