When Stupid people do Stupidiest things
Shock is the new marketing buzz word. Atleast it seems to be. Atleast in Bombay, India… home to some of the greatest geniuses in the world cranking out ideas, outstanding, that rake in the moolah.
Tragically, Bombay is also the home to some of the world’s biggest idiots. And no I’m not talking about those in Bollywood (those are quite a decent lot compared to those mentioned below…)
But there is one idiotic thing I’m itching to do right now, had I been in Bombay. That is to go to a certain newly opened restaurant and pee on them right in full public view.
Idiotic? No it isn’t. It’s my show of contempt and anger of the people who so fucking stupidly have opened a new restaurant and named it…
Hitler’s Cross
Don’t believe me? Take a look at this MSNBC article…
A new restaurant in India’s financial hub, named after Adolf Hitler and promoted with posters showing the German leader and Nazi swastikas, has infuriated the country’s small Jewish community.
Hitler’s Cross, which opened last week, serves up a wide range of continental fare and a big helping of controversy, thanks to a name the owners say they chose to stand out among hundreds of Mumbai eateries.
I’ll repeat what the owners’ just said : They chose the name Hitler’s Cross for the restaurant to “stand out among the hundred’s of Bombay’s eateries”
Stand Out… STAND OUT…. STAND OUT….
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY BELT SO I CAN STRIP THESE MORONS AND SPANK THEM IN FRONT OF THEIR RESTAURANT. WHAT MOTHER FUCKING BETTER WAY TO STAND OUT THAN TO BE SPANKED BUTT NAKED IN FRONT OF THEIR FUCKING RESTAURANT.
The report furthur quotes the owner…
“We wanted to be different. This is one name that will stay in people’s minds,†owner Punit Shablok told Reuters. “We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different. The small restaurant, its interior done out in the Nazi colors of red, white and black, also has a lounge for smoking the Indian water pipe or “hookah.â€
Posters line the road leading up to it, featuring a red swastika carved in the name of the eatery. One slogan reads: “From Small Bites to Mega Joys.â€
A huge portrait of a stern-looking Füehrer greets visitors at the door. The cross in the restaurant’s name refers to the swastika that symbolized the Nazi regime.
“This place is not about wars or crimes, but where people come to relax and enjoy a meal,†said restaurant manager Fatima Kabani, adding that they were planning to turn the eatery’s name into a brand with more branches in Mumbai.â€
So what are they fucking serving? Tomato “Blood bath” soup? “Jew” Vindaloo? “Extermination” Masala?
I’ve heard about utter stupidities done by people. But this one takes the cake. Someone put some fucking sense into these idiots please…

[...] Oz at Desi Train is infuriated, frothing at the mouth, and spewing bile because a newly opened Mumbai restaurant has titled itself “Hitler’s Cross” [...]

[...] Sumeet has more restaurant name suggestions here: [...]

One thing is for sure, there would be enough suckers to checkout the newly opened joint even after they revert their name to something else. That was a damn cheap way to gain publicity.If somebody could really implement that peeing idea of yours may be that would’ve brought back some senses to these ass-hatters.

heheheheh lol good suggestions sumeet =))
I agree with bishu. Sadly, these days, any publicity is good publicity (aka rakhi swant)
August 22nd, 2006 at 8:21 am
Yeah, the restaurant is getting exactly what they wanted in the first place: more publicity.

its because of hitler that india and other countries got independence. he weakened the british during world war 2. also, freedom fighters like subhash chandra bose supported him. i don’t think we as indians should bash hitler just because westerners do.

- Anon, That’s an outrageous statement. You mean to say you would agree to get “Your” freedom at the cost of killing millions of innocent Jews? That’s an outright inhumane thought in itself Sir/Madam.
August 22nd, 2006 at 11:25 am
anon: It is funny when you say India got independence because of Hitler.. “England got weakend by Hitler” ahem.. there is some serious history reading to be done. Either you or Me. Good luck if you are starting first :)>-

It is a free country. The best way is not to offer them any custom at all. Those illiterate goonks probably even dont know what the problem with the name is

— Satyajit - I’m sorry but I’m taking your comments down. This is not a place to battle over the veracity of facts in history. You bring one book and point to the fact that the extermination of Jews was a mere fragment of someone’s imagination. Go and check out the millions of Jew families who lost their loved ones in those Nazi camps for exterminating Jews. Sorry. But I’m not gonna allow anyone to use DT as a boarding ground for their crazy beliefs.

Dont know why you guys are fighting over this. Jews were killed during the balck days before the UN & all the so called civilised organisations. Look to what Jews are doing TODAY to the innocent people in Lebanon.
As far as the restaurant is concerned, yes teh name is in bad taste.

A History Lesson
Maybe this incident will force governments to add the Holocaust (and other genocides) to the WWII curriculum study of students. If you have relatives or friends on school boards, or who can broadcast documentaries or movies like Shindler’s List or Holocaust, lobby them to show these on TV.

Muzzy - “Look to what Jews are doing TODAY to the innocent people in Lebanon”. Could you be any more insensitive ?????
Please be region specific and not relegion specific !!! Is it fair enought to target an entire community due to the wrong doings by some people ??????
Whatever the case might be, you never say that ‘Christians’ invaded Iraq do you ???? You say USA did !! Do u notice the difference ????

Guys, why are we all discussing this on an emotional level? Look at it objectively. I wrote something about this…read it…comment about it…flame me if you want…but still think about it…
