Take a close look at it. Have a couple other people take a close look at it. You might just save yourself some embarrassment.

I heard they did this on purpose so that their name would "stick out" in people's minds.

Ditto with a scaffolding company here called "Rapid Erection". nobody forgets that name!

Sex sells. Always has. If you come up with something like that, JUMP ON IT :-)

This one seems to fit with the whole "Gender Education Week", doesn't it? :o)

Re: - expertsexchange

[tomhudson]

I was wondering who would come up w. that connection :-)

Powergen

Not Italian - they're a British company, Powergen, expanding into Italy under that name. (If they were Italian, at least they'd have the language barrier as an excuse!)

Awww... that reminds me of Tobias being a dual certified analyst-therapist [overtherhine.com] on Arrested Development.

When I was reviewing some CAD/CAM software for PC Magazine UK, there was an application from a company called ViaGrafix. Now, on our sister publication PC Direct, the style guide said that all company names should be capitalised at the start only, so, to their readers, ViaGrafix became Viagrafix.

Anyway, you can imagine what the ViaGrafix website address looked like before they folded...

I would bet

...that last one was purposefully registered to keep potential customers from ending up on a porn site. Name protection.

Thanks for the laugh!

Is Tar There?
