Do not stand anywhere near this family.
It's about as funny as a kebab shop being called...
"Silence of the Lambs"
Number 1 rule of business: The customer is always right, even when the customer is an idiot...
Suprisingly enough, Tsunamis existed before 12/26 and were large walls of water then, too.
They could call it the "Tsosumi Sushi Bar".

Actually, that IS pretty funny...
The information
you provided was more than
I wanted to know.
Sick stuff... but I knew there was somethin' funny about the 'Miss' Dixie and the whole pageant!
I dunno about a 9/11 grill house, but a 9/11 shooting range wouldn't offend me at all.

National Lampoon featured the Dutch in an issue in the mid-70s.
Oops. Fire the marketing weasels. Not a good name choice regardless of events.
I don't know. They seem to survive where others die so maybe they are very lucky. Maybe being near them would be a safe place to be.
That is actually very funny. But I have a slightly twisted sense of humor.
Those were tasty! I'd always eat my Mom's AYDS candies out of the fridge. Yummy caramels.
I would also propose banning theme park rides with names the likes of Hurricane, Twister, Tornado or Tidal Wave. People have died in these natural disasters.
People really need to stop looking for ways to be offended.
The automaker confirmed to CTV affiliate, CFTO in Toronto, that it was immediately changing the name of the car -- and pulling all advertising and marketing containing the tsunami name.
The move comes as the world continues to learn the staggering scope of the Dec. 26 natural disaster in south Asia, and as the death toll continues to climb. It was updated on Friday to 147,000.
Five Canadians have been officially declared killed in the tsunami: four in Thailand and one in Sri Lanka. Another 146 are missing.
Exactly one year ago, on Jan. 7, 2004, Toyota announced the name of for the car, calling it "the new wave of bold style."
Its press release at the time noted that "tsunami is the Japanese word for tidal wave."
The "Special Edition Celica Tsunami" was to have been a high-performance car, and was to have been available in both red and a colour that was described as "thunder cloud."
The car will now be called the Celica Sports Package.
Meanwhile, world aid continues to pour into south Asia, and Canada's Disaster Assistance Response Team is on the way.
Canada has earmarked $80 million for immediate relief and recovery efforts, promising as part of that commitment to match, dollar-for-dollar, private donations from Canadians.
