In our day and age, it seems like a great way to attract customers is via themes that people want to see. Take the case of Disney. Disneyworld’s Epcot Center, located in Florida is the epitome of themes. Circle around the main lagoon and you’ve just traveled the world, being in intricate sets of countries all steps away from each other. Want bratwurst, fried rice, a croque-monsieur, and some kabobs? No problem! Disney’s got you covered.

For those of you a little more adventurous, comes news of the newest theme restaurant, simply called “Buns and Guns – A Sandwich Can Kill you”. Yes, that’s right, this is a TERRORIST themed restaurant in Beirut, Lebanon – one of the most war-torn cities of the last few decades. Want a rocket-propelled grenade? Unfortunately for you if you ARE a terrorist you’re not actually getting one, but just chicken on a skewer. What would possess someone to create such a restaurant? And if you were visiting Beirut, would you drop in to grab a B52 here? I guess only time will tell if this tactic will be successful, but at what point is a theme just completely distasteful? I guess I could think of a few things that would be more offensive, but if this works, more power to the owner! Just showing that no idea is too ridiculous when it comes to business.
