The Black Boy

Used to have a picture of a black man on the sign, now its changed to a chimney sweep.....cant think why

Here in Stoke we had a pub called The Labor In Vain which featured two white people trying to scrub a black boy in a tub.
The joke was actually on whites trying to rub the dirt off the black boy.
Of course, it wasn't minorities who had the sign taken down but two white girls who thought it would offend them.
The minorities told them to put it back up.

That's because the nazi image is fashionable in eastern countries atm. I actually find the blatent use of that dictators image to gain a profit and associating him with a 'good time' very disrespectful to all those who died in world war two as a result of him. I doubt many of those people are aware just how lucky they are to able to enjoy making 'fun' of Hitler's image, today would look very differently if that man had his way.

I stand to be corrected though balddog.
