My old partner and I bought AdolfHitler.com about 6 years ago from a domainer. I figured we could donate it to charity and take a tax write-off, but that didn't pan out for a variety of reasons. Over the years I've wondered what to do with it besides startling people at the Genius Bar with my email address. I've had a couple of fun ideas like blogging as Hitler himself (as if Hitler had the temperament of 16 year-old, lolcatting through his day), but I figured I'd open it up to suggestions to see if anyone else had any thoughts. I'm not looking to make money off this, nor am I looking to offend anyone -- I just think it's being underutilized (it has type-in traffic), and maybe the HN community has some ideas, or people interested in developing something fun with it.
I don't think it's appropriate to try and make money from it, or make anything "fun" with it. There are millions of people who really can't see the humor of anything that has anything to do with Hitler.<p>I would consider redirecting it to his Wikipedia entry, redirecting it to the donation page of the njdc, or something equally classy.<p>I think there's a lot of room for offensive humor and "crossing the line" -- trust me, I got my PHD in that, from the university of South Park. But in the end, there are too many people on this earth that are still alive that have lost members of their family due to that man. Doing something fun with it would not be respectful to them, their families or what they went through.
