The owners of a new Indian clothing store called Hitler say they will rename it after receiving complaints.
.
.
His co-owner, Manish Chandani, told AFP news agency they had never intended to glorify Hitler.

"I was not aware of Hitler being responsible for the killings of six million people before the shop's inauguration. This time I will choose a non-controversial name."

Mr Chandani says the shop's name was a tribute to his grandfather who was nicknamed Hitler because he was "very strict".

They chose a Nazi symbol to dot the “i” and claim they didn’t know about Hitler? Yeah, good luck selling that spin.

"Hold it a minute folks, but are you familiar with a jam called Death Camp? That’s Death Camp! Just look for the barbed wire on the label. With a name like Death Camp it must be so good it’s incredible! Just amazingly good jam!"

No one could be this frigging stupid or not have anyone tell him before he printed up the bags.
