"We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different."

Hmm. They could have picked some other "different" person than Hitler, dontcha think?

[Lex Diamonds]

I wonder if they do kosher meals? Or have disabled access? Do they have gas heating?

I'm sorry, I'll stop now.

lol!

Wow. That's bizarre.

Why not just call it McDonald's Godburgers?

[Dorothy Wood]

that's very odd. HAY GUYS LETS GO TO THAT NEW HITLER RESTAURANT SO WE CAN RELAX AND HAVE A SMALL BITE TO EAT!"

Hopefully this doesn't promote negative stereotypes. Not ALL Indian people own Hitler-themed restaurants.

[Pres Zount]

I don't see a problem with it.

You can have restraunt themed around a torture chamber, I don't see anything really wrong with a Hitler one.

As the guy says, it's all about the food - not about war or racism!

[ToucanSpam]

You know....



Was Hitler so bad? I mean.......


never mind.

[yeahwho]

Hitler was one hell of a dancer, do they have a dance floor?

It would be so funny to see a hitler impersonator doing the robot. That would be cool.

I always wanted to open a record store called "the Vinyl Solution". What do you guys think?

Open it downtown on main street, you go past starbucks and take the third reich, that's the fascist way to get there, if you axis me.

BOMBAY, India - The owner of a restaurant named after Adolf Hitler said Thursday he will change its name because it angered so many people.

Puneet Sablok said he would remove Hitler's name and the Nazi swastika from billboards and the menu. He had said the restaurant's name - "Hitler's Cross" - and symbols were only meant to attract attention.

Sablok made the decision after meeting with members of Bombay's small Jewish community.

"Once they told me how upset they were with the name, I decided to change it," he said. "I don't want to do business by hurting people."

Sablok said he had not yet decided on a new name.

Hitler's Cross opened five days ago and serves pizza, salad and pastries in Navi Mumbai, a suburb of Bombay, also known as Mumbai.

On Thursday, Bombay's Jewish community welcomed Sablok's decision to rename his restaurant.

"He realized he made a mistake and listened to reason," said Elijah Jacob, a community leader. "Some people have wrong conceptions of history and he realized it was not appropriate."

Bombay's Jews had called the theme of the restaurant offensive and demanded a name change. There are about 5,500 Jews in India, with about 4,500 of them living in Bombay.

"I never wanted to hurt people's feelings," said Sablok.

Some Indians regard Hitler as just another historical figure and have little knowledge about the Holocaust, in which 6 million European Jews were systematically killed during World War II.

The swastika symbol, which was appropriated by the Nazis, was originally an ancient Hindu symbol and it is displayed all over India to bring luck.

Nazis are going to be all the rage again soon.
