Default Hitler's Pizza


No, what would be offensive is if they served chicken soup!

After all, the guy was vegetarian! =D

EXCERPTS

Those objecting to the restaurant plan to ask the local government to
force a name change, said Daniel Zonshine, Israel's consul general in
Bombay.

"Instead of Hitler's name being an example of extreme evil, this is
like giving legitimacy to Hitler. It's not right to advertise his name
in public," Zonshine said.

....

"Hitler was a bad man, but what's wrong with having food here?" said
Ashwini Phadnis, 22, a microbiology student as she tucked away a piece
of chocolate cake.

Engineering student Anand Dhillon sat with friends, sipping soft
drinks. "I think the name is quite interesting. Tomorrow if someone
keeps a name like Saddam Mutton Shop or George Bush Footwear, there's
nothing wrong with that, is there?" he shrugged.
