A top Taiwanese official issued a plea today for people to stop changing their name to “salmon” after dozens made the unusual move to take advantage of a restaurant promotion.
In a phenomenon that has been dubbed “Salmon Chaos” by local media, around 150 mostly young people flocked to government offices in recent days to officially register a change in their name.

Under the two day promotion which ended today, any customer whose ID card contained “Gui Yu” – the Chinese characters for salmon – would be entitled to an all-you-can-eat sushi meal along with five friends. Taiwan allows people to officially change their name up to three times.
“This is indeed a worrisome trend. With further commentary we take you to our Asia reporter Gu- ... Gui Yu Chun ... really?”.

Is the reason they are changing their name is because they can get free meals ?
