| New Hitler restaurant…soon to be India’s favorite eatery! New restaurant opens in India.
it’s name: “Hitler’s Cross”
It’s decked out with swastikas, black/red/white everywhere, a mean looking portrait of Adolph Hitler, as soon as you walk in the door.
Sounds cool. Themed restaurants are always quite popular. Who doesn’t like going to a 50s restaurant, or even a Chuckie-Cheese styled pizza place. Oh, but wait….. of course! Uppitty people getting all uppitty about it! Ah, yes
“This signifies a severe lack of awareness of the agony of millions of Jews caused by one man,” said Jonathan Solomon, chairman of the Indian Jewish Federation, the community’s umbrella organization.
Well, that’s fantastic. But, you don’t own the restaurant. The people that do can have whatever damn theme they want. It’s their restaurant, not yours.
“We wanted to be different. This is one name that will stay in people’s minds,” “We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different.” –from the owner, Punit Shablok.
I see nothing wrong with this whatsoever. If you do, why do you? Look deep within your heart. Ray Kroc (mcdonalds) is likely responsible for more death than Hitler. So is Dave Thomas (wendys).
Also of note, the swastika has its roots in ancient Indian Hindu tradition and remains a sacred symbol for Hindus. But just watch, as thousands of morons everywhere get all stupid about this nice little restaurant. |
