A suggestion to the owner - Place Sign “Named ‘Moron Liberal’ so as Not to Offend any Sitting Democrat”
The place will be packed!

Is Tracey Ingle expecting an angry mob of Buddhist monks, burning British flags while hopping up and down, screaming bloody murder? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time. Doesn't she know that you have to be a follower of a “religion of peace” to do that sort of thing?

Miss Ingle added: "I stand by the letter, which asked the restaurant owners to rename the place. That is where we are now.Ms. Ingle is the personification of the old truism...
The only thing necessary for an unjust society to exist is an endless supply of unjust administrators.
Is there an email address where we can share our view of her neurotic-level sensitivity?

Many people suspect that this Tracey Ingle is more concerned with the menu at Fat Buddha than the name.
Note her focus on vegetarianism ~ that's BS. Plenty of Buddhists in good standing eat meat ~
This old gal is simply trying to impose her incorrect religious beliefs on other people.
If it were possible I'd recommend that fine old English custom of public burning of offensive people, but that can't be done anymore so I won't recommend it. But it's something to think about.

The man is a Buddhist. It will not offend Buddhists.
It WILL offend food nazis who proclaim that 50% of Europe and soon-to-be 50% of the US are “obese”.

He would’ve named it Happy Buddah but the homosexual activists thought that it slurred gays.

Fat Budda I thought was a term of endearment when referring to a man's lil pot belly.
Hmmm go figure.
How about naming his eatery Fat Fung's

Buddhist owner can’t name his own resteraunt “Fat Buddah” due to electorate deeming the name -offensive to buddishts-.
.........
What next? “Everything a Dollar” offends atheists for proclaiming the existance of everything?
“Burger King” is offensive to Henry IIIV supporters...
Piggly Wiggly offends pig farmers...
Happy China offends refugees from communism?
