Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990[2] that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[2][3] In other words, Godwin observed that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.

Love it.

just ask susan sarandon

During an interview with actor Bob Balaban at the Hamptons Film Festival in New York over the weekend, Susan Sarandon referred to Pope Benedict XVI as a "Nazi," according to a report from New York Newsday.

Days, later, the backlash continues.

While discussing the anti-death-penalty book, "Dead Man Walking," the film adapatation of which Sarandon starred in, the actress reportedly said she sent a copy of the book to the pope.


"The last one," she clarified. "Not this Nazi one we have now."
