Michael Godwin, call your office

The mayor of a small town in Germany on Thursday called on Google Earth to delete a reference to a nearby “Mount Hitler” from its geographic image service, saying it was misleading.
Andreas Wiedemann, mayor of Bad Toelz, south of Munich, said the peak near the Bavarian town had been known as Mount Hitler for a short time during the Third Reich but had been given back its original name of Heigelkopf after World War Two.
Yes, “Heigel Head” is a much better name than Mount Hitler, unless you want to attract a certain crowd. Considering that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a member of that crowd, however, I just wonder how this cuts.
