Misnomer

For my parents' anniversary, we went to a restaurant called "Saigon". If you are a America-hater or a liberal, this name will immediately conjure up the words "Vietnam War" in your mind. If you are a geography freak (like I was for about a month in 7th grade) then the word "Vietnam" will be the first word you think of. If you like vietnamese food, you will have realized every Pho restaurant is named something like "Pho saigon II" or "Neo-saigon Pho House", so Saigon is synonymous with "Vietnamese noodles".
But these idiots decided to call their Chinese restaurant "Saigon". wtf?
