#17: An Unfortunate Resemblance
Sometimes—I’d even go so far as to say often—people get up in arms about absolutely nothing. The slightest whiff of scandal, no matter how far a reach it is or how obviously unintentional it was, has people rushing to tell the Internet, their local congressman, and anyone who will listen that something absolutely must be done to correct this travesty.
A lot of the time, it can be a bit of an overreaction. Now, is it an overreaction to pull from the shelves a teakettle that, from one angle, bears a slight resemblance to a historical figure? I guess that’s a question everyone has to answer for themselves. But I definitely recommend that you Google the tea kettle in question.
