Fried chicken takeaway called 'Hitler' opens in Thailand

[bigbamboo]

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?

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.

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

I don't think there's any conclusive proof the Romans invented pizza.

But it is as Italian as the Mafia.

[jamhar]

Man all this arguing and history lessons is making me hungry for some fried chicken!

Now where should i go?

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

not twisting anything, I am trying to put things in perspective, I have quite a few relatives who were killed during the second world war and have one relative in the ground near the river Kwaai but what happened then is now a page in history book...same as the greeks/Roman etc...one hopes mankind learns from it...But i am not going to get all hysterical about it...as it appears you are

Yes i am offended by someone glorifying a man who killed, tortured and starved dozens of millions, do you have a problem with that?

[Donnie Brasco]

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.

Ah yes, Bluespunk

Going for the brass ring on that goddamned Hitler thing are we ?

Well while you're talking genocide and wallowing in "winner's history" how about giving us your version of what. Israel's "Children of the Dream" are doing to the men women and children in Gaza.

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

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

I thought we were complaining against genocide, not wars in general.

Most countries agree it's perfectly OK to kill enemy soldiers when at war.

What is not OK is to kill non-combatants (people who aren't fighting including captured soldiers)

WW2 would have happened with or without Hitler, it was two industrial giants fighting it out for world supremacy.

1. how about we stay on topic

2. how about looking into what Hamas is doing to their own children, men and women? or better save it for another topic

You thought? thats something new.

But since you did think, please show me which countries think its ok to be at war and kill soldiers

[kimincm]

Mods could you please remove all posts not related to Thailand as is your normal behaviour,I'd love to see what's left of this topic.

[AnotherOneAmerican]

But since you did think, please show me which countries think its ok to be at war and kill soldiers:whistling:

Every country that signed the Geneva convention agreed to those rules.

[happynthailand]

What ever happened to the "Fried Chicken" ???

talk about getting off the subject !

a lot of people on this form must have a real boreing life.

what rules?

[ginjag]

To close the topic we ought to have a topic on this subject---Is it sick or not to name the shop Hitler ??? just a vote of posters would give us a real per cent. I suggest Sick would win easily.

All this u-boat/pearl harbour/war camps---most are aware of it all, without arguing.

Too soon?

When we relocated to Thailand we all left the 'politically correct' world behind. I see 'Black Man' mops here too.

It is their country and if folks don't like it the only thing they can do is not support the business. As much as I love chicken, they won't be getting any of my baht.

I see now that the 'Washington Redskins' may have to change their name because some folks find it offensive and 'racist'. I certainly do not miss all of the PC nonsense in the U.S.

[ratcatcher]

No doubt had this type of marketing taken place in the good old Monty Python days, it would have been respectfully ridiculed and left to rot.

"Will that be the full order of Adolf's special crispy chicken plus a side of Goebbel's fries, plus a large Goering Iced Tea?"

In most western countries this outfit would not be able to open it's doors, but being Thailand, the only likely outcome is that KFC might sue for identity or copyright theft. If there is such a thing here.

[Kananga]

I for one am glad its opened. Its a great source of ammunition when Thais get all wobbly lipped and 'outraged' about some artwork in a distant land that the great Thai cultural committee has deemed disrespectful to buddhism.

No but I am offended by someone who stated "many Americans gave their lives also. Please, have some decency by acknowledging their sacrifice and bravery. Lest We Forget"

so your suggesting all the other nation's citizens didnt give their lives and dont deserve any acknowelegment for their sacrifice and bravery also ?....not every member of TV is American

The reason Africans were brought to the Americas was because all the indigenous people were killed.

And they wont let you forget it

[davejones]

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...

No need for Asians to learn about European wars. Europe doesn't teach children about Asian conflicts. In fact, I was never taught anything at all about Hitler or WW2 in the UK, Our history lessons were about stone age, Romans and other boring things. No modern history whatsoever. If I wasn't taught it in the UK, I can't see why Thailand should teach it.

Most Westerners take these Hitler things too seriously. Just a few images. Just a name. It's funny.

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.

Those who have no past, have no future either.

​But talking to a victim of an unsuccessful abortion is a waste of time.

Forgetting you are a Thai - no use, it's in your face and in your brain grey matter.

Hoping to be an American - no use, they were actively fighting all the scum you mention.

Bobbing up on waves neither here, nor there, you probably forgot the name of the substance that floats like you are.

Usually I am extremely civil. But not with Hitler or his apologists.

Who cares about you and your self-professed civility ?

It's your ignorance and your logical fallacies that piss ME off.

You need to read some primary documents for starters and wean yourself of Stephen Spielberg, Tom Hanks and the History Channel.

Where do you think you are ? In some Freshman discussion group, getting a BIG lip on about BS that's been shoved down our throats for the last Seventy forking years by the very scumbags who are running "the banks".

Grow a pair.

Think for yourself.

great return of serve lad,,,,,,phew theres alot of poison today,,im loving it,,,,,,

What on earth makes you think religion has anything to do with my views on genocide. It is evil no matter who carries it out.

I don't want to extend this theme too far but I disagree, I believe far too many posters are not "aware of it all", otherwise we wouldn't be having such an empassioned debate, one only has to look at some of the things being posted to see that is true.

I'm not trying to attack you but, by virtue of your own admission, if you had been taught to a different level you would not have written that last sentance. It's the lack or near absence of education on this subject that is the problem. I was born five years after the second world war ended and as a kid I would play in bombed out buildings, the damage of war was everywhere. At age sixteen I had to go on a school trip to Germany to see the place for myself and to understand what had happened. As a teenager and beyond I read avidly on the subject, I read Mein Kampf, Albert Speers memoirs Sven Hassels accounts and so on, I talked endlessly with my family and relatives who participated in the fight, I never thought that anyone could ever not know about what happened.

Being a pluralist I usually enjoy contrarian views, and your posts in particular, DB. But I'm not sure where you're coming from here; that is, in the context of Hitler's image being used to hawk chickens. Please do tell.

[Bluespunk]

If a cafe called Uncle Joe's opened with a pic of Stalin it would not raise an eyebrow. Luckily the Thais have not been infected with the Western guilt that the Zionists like to inflict, so they can get away with their own genocide in Palestine.

It is not "Zionist guilt" or Zionist anything to be appalled by the holocaust or any genocide. As for going into a cafe with stalins image promoting it, no I wouldn't. The man was evil.
