“We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different.”
Ahhh… it’s a PC thing; Hitler wasn’t a bad man, he was differently good.
Seriously though, I can’t get my head around it, at all. On the other hand, how many Mongolian-style restaurants are there called Genghis Khan’s (although this isn’t directly comparable, because GK isn’t a character in living memory).
The latest gambit to reclaim the swastika perhaps?
Umm… “differently good”. This could lend itself to all sorts of possibilities.
Hitler loved his dog, and always kept his uniform very clean.
He was a terrific dancer.
But a lousy painter.
There are right-wing religionists in Maharashtra that use Nazi symbolism and references to Hitler as some kind of byword for strength and purity. Such people have been around since the 1930s, I believe. Anti-imperialists, including those who were anti-Gandhi, also expressed some degree of allegiance to the Axis cause. Some of it seems to be akin to the Marge Schott-style he-did-good-things-but-he-went-too-far type of ignorance – there are people who truly don’t know how bad things were or get confused by the denialists into thinking that there are two sides to the question.
Well, okay, that was incoherent.
Back to the restaurant: Hitler was a vegetarian. I wonder if Hitler’s Cross is a vegetarian restaurant?
In that special, megolomaniacal, concentration-camp-creatin’, Europe-conquerin’, brains-blowin’-out sort of way?
Seems a tall order for a Bombay curry house, but think of the possibilities. They can have Cristal-nacht. And Luftwaffles.
Hmm…guess now is the time to open the William Gacey Boy’s Camp…this year the summer production will be Oliver!, a nude musical review directed by Michael Jackson.
Not the most appropriate thing to laugh to, but 
I seem to recall reading about a Nazi-themed restaurant in Japan somewhere, but I can’t find much info on google (plenty of soup nazi references to Japanese restaurants, however.)
And India did have this guy in government.
So I guess my idea for the “Serial Killer Cafe” wouldn’t be so hot.
“I’ll have the Son of Sam-wich.”
“And I’ll have the John Wayne Ga-Seafood Platter”
“And for dessert we’ll split an order of the lady fingers.”
I don’t know, but I’m guessing they’re not bothering to put too many kosher items on the menu.
Wow, Luftwaffles. Damn. I love this board. 
He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!
Laughing at this just shot right to the top of the “Reasons shamrock is going to hell” list.
They do own another place called Vichy, where they control the everthing that goes on but it’s run by a franchise agreement.
Do you perhaps mean “John Wayne Gacy”?
Yes, actually, I did mean John Wayne Gacy…(but we did call him “little willy”…)
