Hitler Quotes In The Name of Taylor Swift
As if there weren’t enough misquotes from famous figures in history (not to mention a particular scientist), a Pinterest user has decided to attribute Hitler quotes to America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift.
Emily Pattinson, the genius with the Twitter name ‘poopcutie,’ had been posting quotes from the infamous dictator alongside pictures of Taylor Swift to inspire thousands. Most of these quotes were repinned by fans, the most popular one being: ‘”Do not compare yourself to others. If you do so, you are insulting yourself” – Taylor Swift’.
Strangely it took a while for anyone to notice that Taylor Swift hasn’t said any of these things, and the user took action by taking down the boards … and putting them back up again! Issuing a brief disclaimer, Emily Pattinson explained that the boards had been put back up because she ‘got way more media attention’ then she could have imagined, and had apparently had enough compliments in favour of the boards. It goes without saying that she also received a backlash from people who found the boards offensive.
Using a tit-for-tat method, uploads of ‘Hitler’ quotes can be found online in response to her actions. Our favourite is: ‘”I think every girl’s dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore” – Adolf Hitler on women’.
