    You know, I just realized that Hitler failing to get into art school is so much deeper of a joke than I realized.

    Dude was an authoritarian. Artists are pretty universally anti authority. You could say it was his lack of skill to get into art school, or his education, or a whole bunch of things. Or you can say Hilter was already anti-artist, why would an art school educate that?
