Kettle Resembles Hitler On J.C. Penney Billboard, Passersby Say (PHOTO)

LOOK: This Billboard Is Inciting Controversy

Drivers on Interstate 405 near Culver City, Calif., may have noticed something odd recently: a billboard advertising... Adolf Hitler?

That's at least what some on Twitter and Reddit have pointed out regarding a new J.C. Penney advertisement alongside the highway. Take a look for yourself; the tea kettle does bear a striking resemblance to the infamous Nazi leader.

The kettle in question -- the Michael Graves Design Bells and Whistles Stainless Steel Tea Kettle -- also appears on the department store's website.

We emailed J.C. Penney to find out more about the ad, but did not immediately receive a response Monday afternoon.

Sure enough, the Twitterverse had some things to say about the billboard.

Update, May 28: J.C. Penney responded to our question on Twitter.
