Because if you look closely at the picture, it contains Chinese artefacts. somehow, my original vindaloo reference didn't ring true to the surroundings.

Nazi goring as my local Chinese (not me) spells it is a hot spicy rice dish and nothing to do with the Nazis.
Anyway (galactic sage) seeing as you pulled me up about my spelling - how come you didn't know about this one???

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs
To be fair, if you type "nazi goring" into google, rice based meals don't get a mention.

I stopped looking after the first 8 pages.....

As I posted earlier, Nazi Goring is a misspelling of Indonesian/Malay Nasi Goreng, which is fried rice. It's not very spicy normally, unless large amounts of sambal are added.

See post 3 for a Brit talking about Fascists, and post 5 for someone from Indonesia correcting the spelling.

I didn't notice the banner with the oriental writing on the wall, if that's what you're referring to. I'm not familiar enough with Chinese & Japanese written languages to be able to tell the difference, but considering the dog looks rather like a Kishu, & the sliding doors between the room the dog is in & the next room [a very popular architectural feature in Japan, apparently], I would guess it's more likely to be Japanese.

As I said, never heard of it. You'd have been better off leaving it as "vindaloo", as that's something far more people have heard of.

Re: [Merged] Funny Pictures & Signs
When is it not funny to make a joke of other peoples disfigurements? Other impersonal things we can laugh at:
A baby born with 11 fingers
People with learning difficulties
Any handicapped person
Any poster called orior
A car crash victim with brain damage
etc
etc
I'd better stop cause some people are splitting their sides with laughter.
