Is Hitler alive? Not fisically, but he's still able to produce a lot of commotion around his person. This picture was posted on the online version from the belgian newspaper 'the standaard'. A famous belgium actor, Warre Borgmans, dressed up as Hitler was guest in a talkshow on the public channel. The belgian chefcook Jeroen Meus was there too and they talked about the prohibited episode of the cookprogramma of Jeroen Meus one year ago. In his program 'plat preféré' he cooks the favourite dish of famous people, and in one of these episodes he prepared the favourite dish of Hitler, trout in butter sauce (some people say that this isn't his favourite dish). This episode wasn't transmitted on television. In the talkshow now, one year later, the cook still regrets that the episode was prohibited, because he claims that his intentions weren't wrong.
The image of Adolf Hitler is ambigious, it is the real picture that counts, what he looks like (image) but even more important is the reactions that his name/picture causes (imago). We can say that the man with the moustache and black hair is denotative, and conotative is the dominant, autarch, fascist, scary, hard charactre of this man, his controversial ideas and personality.
In the media the case 'Hitler' causes a lot of questions. Is it allowed to represent him nowadays, not surrounded with the terrible things he did? As the makers of the talkshow said: 'this is a parody, like there are a lot. it is pure entertainment'. But is Hitler entertainment?
