Is it just me who thinks this is a bit off?

[Edrof]

Yeah a little off. The Manhattan project advanced science, saved untold lives and prevented a all communist Asia from forming, whereas a cocktail bar sells poisons at inflated prices

Excellent!

 

[XeNoN89]

Seriously? Why do people these days take offence at everything, what's wrong with you?

 

[Cosimo]

I bet you would have complained if he’d called it the Cocktail Bar…..

 

[Kenai]

should i be worried i have never heard of the manhattan project?

:/

 

[semi-pro waster]

Cocktail bar in London? Sounds like a blast, I don't think there's any reason for it to trigger that kind of reaction from you.

Seriously, you're just acting like a little boy about this. There's no need to blow it out of proportion.

The reference is just a gift for punning, I'm counting five in those posts?

The name wouldn't bother me although it has the potential to be somewhat gimicky if the slightly tenuous linkage between the drink and the first part of the name is a sign. I'd wonder about the fusion of the different elements but hopefully for your friend's sake the success mushrooms and it explodes onto the scene becoming an effective ground zero for the trendsetters of London.

 

[Kenai]

Too far now

 

[G-MAN2004]

Nothing wrong with it.

One Enola Gay coming right up!

 

[Cosimo]

Nothing wrong with it.

One Enola Gay coming right up!

Drop an olive or two and Booom!

 

[Destination]

Just you.

I doubt anyone will get upset.
I doubt many would know if you asked them.

 

[Bes]

well if people don't know, the name doesn't really make sense

 

[Muzza1875]

Oh dear.

Indeed

 

[kwerk]

 

[cm1179]

........so the manhattan project what was it?

 

[Randomface74]

project to build the nuke

 

[doofer]

It's hardly the in the 'Auschwitz Bagel Bakery and Coffee Bar' league in terms of possible offensiveness.

 

[Infam0us]

Is it in Japan?

 

[Zefan]

So a friend of an acquaintance is opening a cocktail bar in London.

Is it in Japan?

How can you be so stupid? It's in London so yes! Is there another London I don't know about

 

[bitslice]

How can you be so stupid? It's in London so yes! Is there another London I don't know about

/pedant

Lots in the USA

 

[Infam0us]

How can you be so stupid? It's in London so yes! Is there another London I don't know about

My point being was it in Japan, no ... so the name should'nt matter. But thanks for the insult ...

The actual detonation and decision to use atomic warfare had nothing to do with the Manhattan Project. The MP was actually a pretty cool thing, getting the allies smartest group of people to advance an area of science that perhaps wouldn't have happened for many decades if it were not for the MP.
