I'm off to Nando's tonight. It is a fine establishment that sells chicken and beer, and on a personal level I need very little else. I think you may already be aware of this.
Nando's entry on Wikipedia is very interesting though and contains this little doozy.
In Australia, Nandos ran an advertising campaign based around the 2002 political controversy regarding the mandatory detention of illegal immigrants. The detainees had been waging a hunger strike campaign, even resorting to physically sewing their lips closed. Nandos adverts proclaimed that the strikers "decided to unsew their lips after hearing the news that with every Nando's quarter chicken combo, Nando's are giving away an extra quarter chicken free"
I've copied that exactly, including the several ways they spell Nando's. The best part though is that they have a citation, how awesome is that?
Also, who thought that advert was a good idea? Personally I'd like to shake their hand (and also check to make sure it wasn't too spongy).

I feel like I've been waiting all my life for a "Nando's" tag to come along and now it's here it's everything I imagined and more.
