The Philly Chesesteak Nazi

Jun 12, 2006 09:27

The brash owner of Geno's Steaks has sparked new controversy after two weeks of nearly nonstop national attention for signs posted near his take-out window that declare: "This is AMERICA. WHEN ORDERING, 'SPEAK ENGLISH.' " ~The Philadelphia Inquirer

Joey Vento of Geno's Steaks in South Philly has turned himself into the Philly Cheesesteak Nazi. And the city's in uproar. See Philadelphia Inquirer article here.

So, what do you think? Is he wrong to put the sign up? Should immigrants and tourists take offense? Or is he just exercising his right to free speech?
