I almost didn’t start this thread since this is an old story. But it’s in the news now, and I wouldn’t want to be accused of falling down on the job. Last Friday, England’s _Daily Mail_ ran [this story](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2356705/Fried-chicken-takeaway-called-Hitler-opens-Thailand-comes-complete-logo-Nazi-leader-bow-tie.html) about Hitler Fried Chicken opening in Bangkok, with Hitler’s face copied over Colonel Sanders of KFC fame. Other websites ran with the story such as [here](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/05/hitler-fried-chicken_n_3550351.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular). When asked about the name, staff just said “the owners had thought it was good image.” But as you can see [here](http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/358663/hitler-chicken-off-the-menu), it turns out the photo is two years old. And the location was not in Bangkok but rather Ubon Ratchathani province, over on the border with Laos. The name has been changed to H-ler Fried Chicken, and the logo image is different now too. No idea why the _Mail_ chose to run the story now, but it does point up the casual attitude Thais have to World War II and the Nazis. For more information on that, see my previous [Thai Female Catholic Hitler Youth thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=625800&highlight=naughty), heh. :D) ---

That’s disturbing to see that Hitler is catching on as a fashion trend, but also, well maybe he’s held the mantle of evil incarnate for long enough, and now he can be the mantle for cute teen girl apparel. He deserves it, at the very least. ---

Some friends of mine wrote a punk rock song in honour of the passing of Colonel Sanders in 1980. I only remember some of the words. Chicken Hitler The smell of rotting chicken lingers. Come on Colonel, lick my fingers. Six million chickens didn’t matter So fry in Satan’s brimstone batter. Colonel Sanders, Colonel Sanders, Colonel Sanders Fry in hell! Chained upon your crag infernal Chickens pluck your giblets, Colonel. etc. ---

I’ll tack this on as a side note rather than start a new thread. But a new controversy just popped up. [Chulalongkorn University](http://www.chula.ac.th/cuen/), Thailand’s top educational institute, has issued an apology “for a graduation mural in the middle of the campus that featured an image of former German dictator and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler among a host of comic book superheroes.” Story [here](http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/359954/hitler-mural-done-by-ignorant-first-year-students-says-chulalongkorn-university). The mural has reportedly been removed. ---

Just to show you it’s not always Thailand, the Nazi-themed SoldatenKaffee has opened on the Indonesian island of Java. Story [here](http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/restaurants-bars/nazithemed-cafe-in-indonesia-sparks-global-outrage/story-fn93ypt9-1226683047713). More photos [here](http://lazerhorse.org/2013/07/20/indonesian-nazi-bar-reich-in/). [But it looks like the owner is bowing to pressure to close it down](http://milepoint.com/forums/threads/indonesian-nazi-themed-cafe-to-close-amid-outrage.67060/). ---
