How long does it take for a Godwin's law to work? Let's take a completely innocent article praising some vendors for finally adopting a long overdue standard for handset (namely smartphones) chargers. It only applies to EU at the moment. Article also suggests, with some sarcasm thrown in, few other things that could use standardization. Anyhow, the article was published on June 29 at 6:09pm, by 00:27:56 of June 30th standardization was condemned, complete with Holocaust references and mention of EU Fuhrer. I know, offering reasoned thought out arguments instead of emotionally-charged unwarranted comparisons would not have been nearly as easy.
