Urban Myth Confirmations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hitler's Token Testicle

— November 19, 2008 — Unique
Another urban myth was confirmed, and this is a good one: Adolf Hitler only had one testicle. FACT.

This was confirmed by an almost-lost account from a German army medic who treated Hitler during World War I. The records have not been seen for 23 years, and the UK media are loving this one.

The medic, named Johan Jambor, made the revelation to a priest in the 1960s.

Implications - The fascination with Hitler's single testicle demonstrates the public's constant fascination with the body. When the human body is presented in an abnormal fashion, consumers pay attention and are ready to hear more. Companies would be wise to consider how to leverage this interest and use it to attract observation from buyers to help sell a product.
Trend Themes
1. Body Fascination - Consumers are fascinated with abnormal bodies, creating opportunities for products leveraging unusual presentations of the human body.
2. Urban Myth Confirmation - Confirming or dispelling urban myths is a trend that can capture public attention and drive interest in related products or services.
3. Lost-and-found Accounts - The discovery of long-lost accounts can create buzz and interest, providing an opportunity for companies to capitalize on this attention.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - Movies, TV shows, and other types of entertainment can leverage the public's fascination with the human body to capture attention and sell products related to unusual presentations of the body.
2. Media - Media outlets can generate interest and drive traffic by confirming or debunking urban myths and highlighting lost-and-found accounts related to historical figures.
3. Marketing - Marketers can use the fascination with abnormal bodies and the discovery of lost-and-found accounts to create unique and attention-grabbing campaigns for their products or services.
