Re: It has come to my attention...
I am always in two minds about this, it being in the context that it is, I am not offended. However, as I travel to Europe a lot I have to constantly remind myself that using the word Nazi is a no-no.
We typed up an invite for a show in Berlin earlier this year and used an original 1940s portable Olympia model typewriter, made for Heinrich Himmler's SS. We Used the special 'SS' character on these typewriters everywhere a 's' appeared, of course we were reminded by the organisers that we could get a jail sentence for this in Berlin, so we just had to use normal S's.

It all depends only on the point of view.
Why should be czar less bad than nazi? I am sure many Russians would say it was the same or worst...
You know, I met (and worked with) people who survived concentration camps, whose families were executed by nazis, I work on project with this thematic....and this jokes never offended me...I joke about that, maybe because I know the history and I know what happened and know to what all of that lead...and where it leads even now...
I think people joke about important things...if it was not important why would someone bother to even mention it.
