Via Tongue Tied
The Honolulu Advertiser says Buddhists in Hawaii are upset about a new bar opening in Waikiki that bear the name of the big guy himself.The Buddha Bar opened only last week and is already generating letters and emails of complaint.
"This is an inappropriate name and is a show of disrespect towards Buddhism," wrote Barbara Brennan in an e-mail sent to Buddhists and others. "The ignorance of the proprietors and their efforts to create a 'catchy' name for their establishment shows disregard for our religious community."
Okay, so it's a groaner. It's been a tough day.
