A new restaurant in Bangkok has made KFC snap to Achtung!

In May, Andrew Spooner, author of the “Footprint Thailand Handbook,” snapped a photo of a new restaurant that had just opened in Thailand and tweeted it out :

Very bizarre Hitler Fried Chicken shop in Thailand. I kid you not. Complete with pic of Hitler in bow tie http://t.co/9OS1FgfUCx

Now Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) may sue the fried chicken restaurant, which is called “Hitler,” for replacing its iconic image of Colonel Sanders with Adolf Hitler, complete with apron and bow tie. The restaurant sells fried chicken as well as chips, burgers and kebabs, according to the Daily Mail, and is still open for business. Bangkok resident Alan Robertson told the Mail: “The place opened last month and nobody quite knows what to make of it. I went in for a bite last week and got some fried chicken, which was pretty good, and asked the guy behind the counter why it was called Hitler. He just shrugged his shoulders and said the owners had thought it was good image.”

...That I know of! I spoke too soon!

Oh, noes! Khan’s empire has spread to America and “khanquered” Texas! Many towns have surrendered to his edict of “Eat stir fry...or else!!!” Even proud Austin! (Figures that this town’s liberals would just roll over the instant a tyrant appeared on the horizon.)

"There are no places called Tojo’s Sushi or Genghis Khan’s Mongolian Grill or Chairman Mao’s Buffet Palace, for example!"

Say what?
