Supersonic 49,376 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Amazon turned the S train into the SS train, and some straphangers are pissed. The Man in the High Castle, an Amazon-produced show set in an alternate reality — the Axis won World War II and rules most of the United States — launched its first season Nov. 20. As part of the promotional campaign for the Web-only program, Amazon decorated the 42nd Street shuttle running between Times Square and Grand Central with Nazi regalia. Train seats on one side of the subway car feature the stylized fascist version of the Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle) prominently used in Hitler-era Germany, albeit with the swastika replaced by an Iron Cross. On the other side, the Rising Sun Flag, often associated with Japanese military forces during the same period, is displayed.

Morphine Prince 96,244 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think the show sounds like an interesting idea! I kind of want to watch it now. This promo is kinda cool too but it's on the controversial side. Excellent marketing strategy. I had not even heard of the show and now I have because of this.

Kabexuela 1,184 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 That's the first thing that came to mind was The Man in The High Castle. I've been watching that show and it's pretty freaky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 It's for a show that asks the question, what if Hitler won the war?

The thing is that they don't care bad or good promo is still promo and people will still tune in to then tweet their negativity and it will be a trending topic. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
