You have to use your imagination a little bit.
From the Daily Telegraph:
Bemused motorists took photographs of the huge JCPenney billboard advertising
the kettle as they drove past it on the 405 Interstate highway near Culver City
in California, one of America's busiest stretches of roads.
"That Hitler looks like a kettle," commented one user of Reddit, one of the
several websites where the image was posted over the weekend.
"He even has his right arm extended," wrote another, while a third added:
"I'm a little Nazi, short and stout".
Things that look Hitler have become a popular web meme - with the genre
perhaps defined by the house in Swansea that bears an
unsettling resemblance to the Nazi Fuhrer.
The kettle - officially the Michael Graves Design Bells and Whistles
Stainless Steel Tea Kettle - retails for £35.08 on the JCPenney
website, and can be delivered to the UK. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10084348/Kettle-that-looks-like-Hitler-brews-trouble-for-JCPenney.html
Of course it could be Charlie Chaplin.
Someone in marketing is going to be in trouble.

I totally didn't see it, then I could if I squinted. Thought it was really stupid, and a stretch.

When it is seen, it cannot be unseen!
Makes me think of all of the Jesus and Mary sightings. Since we don't even know what either of them even looked like, I've always wondered how people know that it isn't John Lennon or Tommy Chong, instead of Jesus.
