Univision Apologizes After Hitler "Meme" Tweet Sparks Outrage

“We are very sorry about the images published today.” Twitter users complained the image was inappropriate and shameful.


The image was of actor and producer Javier Lopez, widely known in Mexico for playing the classic children's character "Chabelo" in a long-running weekend television show, along with dozens of films and musical albums. The image was one in a collection of internet memes inspired by the character published on Univision's website.


Twitter users and the Huffington Post's Spanish-language vertical HuffPost Voces noticed the image and questioned whether it was appropriate for Univision to use it to promote content on its site.


Manuel Aguilera took a screenshot of the tweet, which translates roughly as "This is great, friends. Enjoy the best Chabelo memes."


Aguilera added the message, "Lamentable tweet from Univision's account. Is this funny?"
