Why are people so uptight?

We have a burger joint named Sofa King Juicy Burgers here in Chattanooga.

I don't remember any hubbub when it opened.

Sofa King was an SNL Skit in 2007 for a Mid-Eastern Sofa store.

I've never heard any complaints about the restaurant "MoPho" here in New Orleans.

Shreveport had a Pho King.

I always chuckled because I assumed most people in Shreveport didn’t get it.

Got some friends in Seattle. Few years ago there was a Pho King that had to change its name because people got offended.

NOBODY is truly offended by that. It's just so trendy to jump on the outrage bandwagon for some.

Probably because they think its "Fo" rather than "Fuh"
