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.

For sure, the name lured me in. I GOTTA see what this is about!
Another example I can think of is the Vikings.
These guys plundered, murdered, and raped their way along the coastal areas of Europe.
They undoubtedly destroyed many lives in their time. Now we have sports teams named after them, and anyone who could be offended by their exploits is long dead.
I could imagine a future sports team called "The Nazis", where they goosestep into the stadium with Prussian-like, snappy uniforms.
It might be troubling to think future generations taking the Nazis more lightly, but with human nature as it is, I sincerely doubt present levels of sensitivity will be maintained forever.
Oven roasted to perfection.
Compared to Obamatoday’s U.N. world , (Islamic Jihadist and Communist Obama)
Hitler appears as the heroic cleansing agent.
Boy, those are some messed up owners.
Best not to ask what is in der Fuhrer’s secret recipe.
That probably appeals to the same customers.
My close friend is a famous guitarist. Those brats play his Cort Custom Shop namesake model guitar. He is not amused!
to be fair, Vlad the impaler was fighting off moslems :P
Just making sure the white meat and dark meat markets are equally covered, I guess.
Hitler was no Vlad the Impaler -- Adolf not only destroyed Germany and gave it perennial guilt, he destroyed ancient German settlements in the East --> by his actions the German question was solved by the Baltic Germans, Volga Germans, Romanian Germans, Sudetenland Germans etc being hounded out.
Well o'l Vlad was even less successful than Hitler. Vlad reigned at the beginning of centuries of Ottoman domination of the Balkans. This time period was right after the fall of Constantinople. Vlad and his other contemporaries were unable to stem the Islamic domination of the region.
Care for some Luft-fries with your V-2?
Anyway, Hitler is being gradually transformed into a harmless Teutonic clown, like Gen. Burkhalter, Col. Klink & Sgt. Schultz.
The “Hitler reacts” vids are another example.
This restaurant has about as much association with Adolph Hitler as a Thailand KFC franchise has to Kentucky.
They also serve kabebs at this particular hitler restaurant. The Thai restaurants I’ve been to don’t do shishkabob.
I suspect a muslim crowd.
I’ve been to Ginjuice’s Grill.
