Joan Rivers Protests at Costco, Compares Chain to "Nazi Germany"

by at .

Joan Rivers stopped by a Costco in Burbank, California yesterday. To purchase a six-gallon tub of ketchup and 300 toilet paper rolls? Not exactly.

The comedian showed up at the chain in protest of the fact that it's refusing to sell copies of her book, ""I Hate Everyone … Starting With Me," on the ground that the jacket displays a few curse words.

Rivers actually handcuffed herself to a shopping cart and shouted from a bullhorn inside the store. She compared the company policy of censorship to "Nazi Germany" and then did so again after police escorted her away and she spoke to KTLA News.

“People should have the right to have the literature they want,” Rivers said. “This is the beginning of Nazi Germany.”

Most troubling for the veteran actress, however, who reportedly had customers inside the Costco cracking up?

"They kicked me out without giving me any free samples,” she told the network.

    Joan is a Jew and she should know better than to throw the Nazi word around lightly for some publicity. Shame on her.

    Bite me, Ken Boy! I see the trend of attacking small businesses by celebs and special interest groups developing because Obama and his Admin. have set the tone. Small businesses create jobs. Leave 'em alone! Instead, all this crazy attacking is going on. Like Joan "I've Faced More Knives Than a Bennihana Chef" Rivers has no other outlets for her book sales???? Oh, please! Obama coming out recently and saying that small business people are not responsible for their success? He's set the standard that business is the devil. Spoken like a true Socialist! If I want that...I'll move to Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
