The price has two nazi numbers in it - 14 and 88. The 14 is because there are 14 words in a bit of a speech that Hitler gave once. I think. I could be wrong about the source, but it refers to 14 words someone said once. I try not to let too much nazi shit seep into my brain. The 88 is a super duper secret code that "H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet and "HH" are the initials of "heil Hitler". Yes it really is that fucking stupid.
Anyway, out of all the millions of prices ever assigned to an item in an advert, this one happens to match that nazi bollocks.
14 is a US white supremacist reference from a right-wing terrorist.
