Attracting attention is a marketing touchstone

...unless, of course, you are a moron.

My favorite quote from the story... "He had said the restaurant’s name — “Hitler’s Cross” — and symbols were only meant to attract attention."

Yep. That it would.
Hitler-themed eatery to be renamed - Peculiar Postings - MSNBC.com: "BOMBAY, India - The owner of a restaurant named after Adolf Hitler said Thursday he will change its name because it angered so many people."

...

Hitler’s Cross opened five days ago and serves pizza, salad and pastries in Navi Mumbai, a suburb of Bombay, also known as Mumbai.

On Thursday, Bombay’s Jewish community welcomed Sablok’s decision to rename his restaurant.
I just wonder what the reaction would have been if it were a depiction of, oh, I don't know..., a famous middle eastern prophet who is spiritual leader to millions for instance?
