Like the fast food ad [supposedly] that ran in Germany, saying "Arby's Macht fries"?
Have you heard the one about the Jews?

As a writer on The Ali G Show I can do insulting jokes. But the anti-Jewish sentiment at Edinburgh is shocking
THERE’S NOTHING I like more than a Jewish joke. It’s the anti-Jewish ones I’m not so keen on.
Wandering through the streets of Edinburgh during the world’s largest arts festival, you never know what sight or sound you will be bombarded with next. Half-naked men on 6ft stilts meander by, half-naked girls rush to sell you their show, troops of Japanese acrobats tumble past. But I wasn’t prepared for the verbal assault I got when I wandered into a comedy gig this week.
There have always been anti- Semitic jokes. But you know times are changing when you go along to a stand-up show at the Pleasance Courtyard at the Edinburgh Fringe and you hear audience members shouting “Throw them in the oven” when the comic suggests kids should stop playing Cowboys and Indians and replace it with Nazis and Jews.
Stand-up comedy is as good a prism as any through which to look at the changing attitudes in our society. If my past few days are anything to go by then it is becoming increasingly acceptable to hate the Jews. Again.
I’ve seen two comics so far who have been happy to amuse their crowds with Holocaust gags. I’m not sure which to be the more concerned about.
One was a left-leaning angry Australian conspiracy theorist, Steve Hughes, whose show The Storm is an assault on all things Western. “I want to bash Condoleezza Rice’s brain to bits and kill that f****** Jew Richard Perle.” Hughes is the one at the Pleasance Courtyard while Perle is an adviser to George W. Bush as he was to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton on foreign affairs.

"Come on ,it's supposed to be funny.
The comic possibilities are endless."
It's inappropriate. The owner's lame excuses don't even relate to what Hitler was.
Mein Gott!!

I was wondering about the Korean on the sign, until I read your note...
Is it vegetarian?
"I hope they don't have on site showers..."
No, but they do serve killer food.
I'll have a Holocaust Hot Dog with an Auschwitz Amber.
India first with the anti-christian taliban now this. Sounds like Iran to me. Guess the muzzies and other assorted pagans hate jews and christians with a passion. Thats ok,they wont be successful.Pagan primatives..

The only damper on the evening was the somewhat disturbing sign in the men's room "EMPLOYEES MUST HATE JEWS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK."

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
