When comedy makes me think Part 1

Nazi Doctor:"The Holocaust Museum...?" The Major:"Leave that be. No one will deny what we did."-- Hellsing Abridged Episode 5. Before I begin I'll summarize what "Hellsing Abridged" is for the uninitiated. It's an online parody of an anime called "Hellsing Ultimate." Hellsing Ultimate interprets Dracula(codenamed "Alucard") as vampire hunting agent to Integra Windgate Hellsing who is the descendant to Van Hellsing from from Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Hellsing Abridged comedically exaggerates the characters and premise of the series. Now then, as hilarious as this exchange was in the episode, it got me thinking:"Why are there Holocaust deniers and by extension 9/11 deniers? What good comes from denying the chaos that consumes humans and causes them to preform such horrific acts? We don't and never will live in a Utopia, so what's the point of pretending that we do?
