either way 'killed in action' brings pause.
G&L's Placentia, the worst name for a product line ever?
- Thread starter Cheap Trills
- Start date
2 Live Crew wrote a song about him. Apparently they want him.
Reminds me of “A Boy Named Sue.” At least he learned to fight.

Looked it up, found it, but won't post it here. They're probably big Steely Dan fans there, if I'm right.
Is "dildo" against the rules, or does it just offend the puritans?

It is a wretched name for a product.
It is pasted all over the outsides of the cars and so I ask:
What's the distinction you're trying to make?
Nissan knew when to retire the Datsun name in this market", and so why don't the suits at the combine that controls both Hyundai and KIA take this opportunity to stop making this "mistake"? I think everyone here knows "KIA" as a company went insolvent and the Korean Gov't asked Hyundai to come in and pick up the pieces and get the company back in operation. They've got "Genesis" and other brand names, H + K do. This is a simple case of businessmen having no respect for veterans and their families. No question in my mind.

I took my first wife (and some good friends) for a day trip one time to the site of several famous battles near the French German border.

I love Germany and driving the Autobahn! My first time there I was mildly amused by the name they gave exits "Ausfart"... My inner Beavis and Butthead kicked in.. "He said Assfart.. ha ha he he"..

Since I already posted a Top Gear clip earlier in this thread, this moment from The Grand Tour seems appropriate:

The word "Fitta" in Swedish means the first half of the word Pussycat.
When advised of this, Honda hastily rebranded the model as Jazz, but not before the helpful Swedish internet
users had created several hilarious ad-slogans to help Honda market their new model in Sweden.

On a semi-related note...
How in the name of everything, is it possible that in this age of Google and other readily available search engines,
Disney managed(in 2016) to release two(not one... two!) movies(Moana & Zootopia) which bumped with some
European trademarks and had to be rebranded(and re-dubbed (also for the English version)) for wider release
outside of the USA?!

Oof! Not a good name. I wonder who the marketing person at G&L responsible for this is.

At a job I once had, there was a customer named Bitsh(last name).
When we incredulously double checked the name she remarked drily: "Yeah.. it's a bother when booking hotel rooms."
Here's an opportunity for personal growth! Maybe.
