The Bombay/Mumbai restaurant that glorified Hitler will be changing its name soon:

A restaurant named after Adolf Hitler that enraged Bombay's Jewish community will soon have a new monicker, its owner promised Thursday.

Puneet Sablok said he would remove Hitler's name and the Nazi swastika from billboards and the eatery's menu since it had angered so many people. He had previously said the name and symbols were only meant to attract attention.

"Yes, I have decided to change the name. I never wanted to hurt people's feelings," said Sablok, who made the decision after meeting with members from Bombay's small Jewish community. He did not say what the new name would be.

So, what Jew-hater should he name it after now?

I say Mel Gibson, but call it "Mel's Diner." That way critics can be told it's just a tribute to that show in the Seventies. Maybe even get Linda Lavin to show up at the opening.

She's Jewish, you know.
