Seriously, how is this remotely offensive to the Jews? It takes their tormenter and makes him look like a complete assclown, which he really is. Its not as if we are poking fun at the holocaust, just making fun of the most evil man to ever gain that much power.

That's your opinion, though.

If you don't see how an Auschwitz survivor could see the parodies as trivializing a horrific period in time, I don't know what to tell you. I'm sure some Jews will say levity is a good thing, but it wouldn't surprise me if others disagree.

The studio made an historical film that wasn't intended to be comical. Whether I find the parodies funny or not, I can appreciate that the studio might not want their copyright infringed upon in such a manner. Just like Johnny Cash's family wouldn't license "Ring of Fire" to be used in a hemorrhoid commercial, or certain artists don't allow others to sample their work.
