A billboard ad for a tea kettle sold at JCPenney has become an Internet sensation thanks to its uncanny resemblance to Adolf Hitler.

A motorist driving on the 405 Interstate highway in Los Angeles snapped the picture of a billboard showing off JC Penneys new Michael Graves Design Bells and Whistles Stainless Steel Tea Kettle.
