Fried chicken takeaway called 'Hitler' opens in Thailand

[chiang mai]

Bluespunk, Chiang Mai

Guy's it's Friday night, it's just a thread about some frakking cartoon picture of Col Saunders with Hitlers head on it selling fried chicken. It's not a thread about Global history lessons and the slaughter of millions. Thai kids probably know as much about Hitler as Vicky Pollard knows about the history of Siam, and the only thing most middle age Brits know about the History of Siam is it had something to do with Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. Don't they have a happy hour near where you live?

If you don't want to read this thread, don't let anyone make you, it's your right to not participate, if that's what you choose.

GJ can't let comments on genocide being something to forgive and forget. That sort of thinking sickens me and would ruin my happy hour(s) if I left it unchallenged. Sorry but that's the way it is.

Jim, its the fact of such action being allowed and not immediately closed down, in most civilized countries such business or even a hint would be closed down and owners charged. It is not even remotely funny or attractive if one knew anything about that time frame.

KFC should also file a law suit, as it offends their image as well

Would just like to point out that AnotherOneAmerican is not alone in his attitude of immediately forgiving and forgetting anything bad that happens in this world.

Apparently goldfish do it too.

Goldfish is understandable, its a fish with tiny brain, what is AnotherOneAmerican excuse?

In addition to being insulting, for reasons quite obvious the business is also highly illegal. But yet the authorities ignore it. I guess they're too busy worrying about foreigners running their own travel agencies.

I guess from this point on it's all down to the baiters, trolls and the poorly educated, a no win of a thread if ever there was one and doubtless the mods will see it in a similar light also.

[lemonjelly]

it's the education system. I don't think these people actually admire Hitler but it's possible the school history syllabus didn't cover what he did and the millions he murdered.

At least the chicken is pretty good...

I think the point is they don't care what he did. (In reality neither do I, and neither did Prince Harry of the UK, and the uniforms look pretty snappy)

I'm sorry, but are you really saying you don't care what hitler did?

Don't care at all, nor do I care what Genghis Khan, Slobodan Milosevic, Stalin, the Japanese, the IRA, Pol Pot, et al did.

It's in the past, forgive and forget.

My grandparent's generation suffered greatly during WW2, many Americans gave their lives also. Please, have some decency by acknowledging their sacrifice and bravery. Lest We Forget.

I have removed some sick posts made in extremely bad taste also some quoted replies.

Do you eat pizzza ?....if you do then you must have forgiven the Roman's for the genocide they caused....if your so senstive about genocide..would would eat a burger called an "atomic burger", 250,000 killed using this weapon of mass destruction.in Japan..

Mankind is a nasty species and genocide has been going on since the beginning of human kind and will continue to do so until mankind is wiped off the plant...

Greeks, Roman, Persian's in the past, Hitler/Stalin etc in the 20th century....furture ???...who know...all we don know is that it will happen again

So what your saying only Americans were killed in WWII ?....now that is offensive...BTW "Lest We forget" comes from the British...

so we should we only acknowlege the Americans sacrifice and bravery and screw everyone else....your post is just as bad as the topic being discussed..

So it's just genocide then, is it? Happened before, will perhaps occur again...

Well, rape is even more common-- and so too is phedophilia. According to your thinking, then, if someone uses such acts in their marketing, you would see no cause for outrage, right?

Greeks would argue with you that Pizza was their invention, Atomic is a word which has can be interpreted in many different ways.

Hitler is a person who ordered and caused the death of millions, over 80 million and counting to be precise.

Lets not start to twist things in accommodating manner

[jamhar]

Thailand can do what it wants, If i dont like it, i can leave. end of story for me.

But i can only imagine how this would play to the Thai Tourism industry

if 'fad' caught on in Thailand.

I think you could expect a drop in the EU tourist visiting Thailand.

but then again, what do I know?

America was the aggressor against Germany in WW2.

Mr. H had no fight with the USA, in fact he took many of his genocidal ideas from the American Eugenics Society of California (who were still forcibly sterilizing 'unsuitables' up to the 1970s)

Japan, Nazi's partner attacked USA, which dragged USA into WW2, get your history facts right before posting utter nonsense

Non-combatants

Most estimates are Hitler did for 11 million (50/50 Jews/Russians)

Beaten by Stalin who did at least 15M

Chairman Mao is widely thought to have done 45M

The reasoning that it has always happened so why take a stand against diminishing the horror of genocide is not one I subscribe too. If we forget what happened in the past then we fail to learn from it. If we wish to end it we need to ensure that it is not viewed as just something that has happened many times and was a long time ago. I still hope as a species we can overcome the violence of our past.

[ginjag]

Some posters here suggest that it's O.K. to have a shop under this name, another posted some of us were obcessed with the history of Hitler, I personally think it's fear of it happening again, no one wants this in reality.

Put it behind us if we can but NEVER forget. The best thing is to learn from these types of people, there are still persons in this world existing, we as respectable people have an obligation to TRY to prevent-or condone.

this place should NOT deserve the customer.

If Ogedei Khan had lived 2 more years. Chances are those 2 flags in your avatar would be meaningless.

[tomross46]

Mao is still on the currency of China and he killed more people than Hitler (if you want to look at history in these childishly simplistic ways) but everyone still wants their made in China iPhones. It's westerners who need to get over their obsession with Hitler, not Thais.

I think hitler was responsible for more deaths than Mao. At least 25 million people died during his war in Russia. But as you say numbers are childish when the true horror of the nazi regime was its industrialisation of genocide.

What about the genocide of American Indians. The genocide of Incas and Aztecs by the Spanish. The reason Africans were brought to the Americas was because all the indigenous people were killed.

And your statistics are as bad. 25 million is a conservative estimate for the losses suffered by the USSR, but as you said numbers are childish.

Over 80 million people were killed during WW2, AGAIN do some self education, instead of continuing to post nonsense

Is the wrong answer, yet again:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_the_United_States_during_World_War_II

America remained neutral until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour, Germany was actually the agressor whereby German U-boats attacked US escorts on the Atlantic run.

They are just as bad, though I don't think slaves were brought into the USA because of their ongoing genocide, african slaves were easier to control and contain as were far from home.
