Thomas Jefferson Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 From The Huffington Post: "Hitler" fried chicken better surrender its logo, because the Colonel's ready to fight. Kentucky Fried Chicken told The Huffington Post Friday it may take "legal action" against a fried chicken shop named Hitler that sports a storefront emblem very similar to KFC's, only with Adolf Hitler's head replacing Colonel Sanders. "We find it extremely distasteful and are considering legal action since it is an infringement of our brand trademark and has nothing to do with us," a spokesman for KFC parent Yum! told The Huffington Post in an email. Hitler, which recently opened in Bangkok, Thailand, first garnered attention after Andrew Spooner, author of the "Footprint Thailand Handbook," snapped a photo of the restaurant and tweeted it out in May: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/05/hitler-fried-chicken_n_3550351.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009 Now that the Top Shop appears to have closed down, perhaps they will consider coming and opening up an outlet in Douglas. Human beings are very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
