It's the name of a store in India!

WTF was that guy smoking?

Rajesh Shah, whose store opened last month in Ahmedabad city in the western state of Gujarat, had claimed he only recently learned why the name would offend people.

Bullshit. Look at the image in that article. If it's accurate, he dots the "i" in "Hitler" with a swastika.

That is what is so fantastic about this story.

He knew exactly what he was doing. I wonder what it did for his sales? Did they go up when he first named the store? Did they go down, and that's why he's stirring the pot again?

Devil's Advocate: Hitler got the swastika from India.

Then he should've picked a more stylized version.

You know, there had to be more than just that one guy named Hitler. I wonder what all the other Hitlers did after 1945? Did they change their names? Or were they like Michael Bolton in Office Space: he should change HIS name! He's the ass-clown!

To my knowledge, many of them changed their names. Michael Jordan can't even bring back the facial hair style he killed. You think anyone's keeping that name?
