Hitler chat a perk of working at Google

HitlerThere must be something in the air — perhaps all this Yuletide spirit — that unearths fresh adoration of little baby Hitler. Will Smith had a run-in with the Jewish Defense League over his comments about Hitler's basic goodness. That in turn raised the Internet's Führer radar, uncovering one of the overlooked perks of working for Google: unlimited Hitler talk!

Here's Smith's quote:

Even Hitler didn't wake up going, "let me do the most evil thing I can do today." I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was "good."
Sort of like working at Google, where the corporate motto is "don't be evil!" A Google intern working alongside Bangalore's "inspiring and fun" Googlers appreciates that "there are always people who know more than you, be it C++, Java, Cryptic crosswords or even Hitler." Godwin's Law tells us that office must be a barrel of laughs.
