When Mitsubishi launched a new car with the name "Pajero" on the Spanish market Allen Iverson Jersey , it became obvious very soon that the name chosen was not optimal because it immediately was the subject of jokes due to its homophony with a Spanish expression related to masturbation.


The same happened to Ford's model "Pinto" (Portuguese for male genital) in Brazil where it was quickly renamed into "Corcel"(horse).


There is quite a long list of product names that give food to the dirty mind be they chosen accidentaly or deliberately. Obviously there seems to be a kind of tradition for this in the history of naming which originally started with place names.


Some of our ancestors obviously were too innocent to realize what burden they place on their offspring when naming places like Pratts Bottom (Kent), Brown Willy (Cornwall), Lickey End (near Birmingham), Booby Dingle (Powys) Dwight Howard Jersey , Great Cockup (Cumbria). Even places such as Thong (Kent) seem to have revealed far too much for not being the victim of lewd remarks.


The European continent, however, is also challenging the innocent mind of the English speaking travellers. In Southern Bavaria they will come across a village with the name of ?Petting? and about eleven miles from there, in neighbouring Upper Austria Zach Randolph Jersey , the shock might be inevitable when they enter the village of ?Fucking?. Inspite of the fact that the inhabitants of Fucking have had enough with English-speaking tourists swiping their sign, they refuse to change their name. It goes back to the ancient Bavarian settlement and although this area was christianized by Irish and Scottish monks in the 9th and 10th century, an amendment of the name has never been deemed necessary.


No wonder that in many countries there are restrictions regarding the choice of a place name as a trademark for goods and services. One way around these restrictions is to distort the name so that it becomes indisputable but on a subliminal level takes advantage of the fact that sex sells. A recent example of successful distortion are the products of a British based fashion retailer called French Connection Group plc with the trademark FCUK. Linguists tell us that the power of a word depends on its context, and clearly the English word ?fuck? falls into that category. To make it even more explicit Marc Gasol Jersey , two new fragrances were launched named ?FCUK Him? and ?FCUK Her?.


On its website, FCUK demonstrates a clear picture of its marketing strategy. Whereas the linguistic allusions are close to Shakespeare's bawdiness, the images remain subdued and innocent, which on the one hand is rather cynical but on the other hand tries to bridge the generation gap because most parents finance the quite conventional fashion attire that their children obtain from FCUK. Thus FCUK's clients in each major market display a range of attitudes when confronted with the provocatively distorted four-letter mark. The American Family Association (AFA) promotes initiatives against FCUK such as prefabricated emails protesting against the exploitation of youngsters in such a manner.


Sex in marketing is bound to raise demand along with a few eyebrows which in addition either secure the necessary publicity or ban the product from the market. Branding an almost swear word in order to create a cash cow is Mike Conley Jersey , however, not restricted to fashion clothing and related products. On a recent visit to New Orleans I was surprised by the abundance of labels for their traditional hot pepper sauces. Besides the well known Tobasco, there are more spicy brand names such as ?Burning rectum? or ?Hot shit?.


It shows that name design must be ready to apply wit to anything that makes the blood boil and the label sell. Obviously this does not really work with other economic fields, for instance with tourism Cheap Grizzlies Hats , because the places mentioned above are not among the hot spots that travel agents propagate in their catalogues.




Taking loans and incurring debts has become a common practice these daysSpending money before it is earned is common in today鈥檚 world. One of the reasons contributing to this factor is the existence of economic conditions that are typically identified with factors such as recessionary and inflationary trends. Therefore, people seem to get perplexed and confused when it comes to selection between debt settlement vs bankruptcy.


The entire country is witnessing a record growth in the field of consumer debt. This figure has in fact reached an all-time HIGH. Because people are struggling with debts, it has prompted record number of consumers to opt between debt consolidation vs bankruptcy. Unemployment, illness Cheap Grizzlies Hoodies , overspending or divorces are some of the reasons why people often choose the bankruptcy route. At the same time, there are some who think debt settlement is the ideal approach for improving their financial situation. For, it brings and immediate relief in their life because they are no longer required to face the harassment related with their creditors.


The mad rush for debt settlement can better be understood the advantages it carries. For instance, when you choose this option Cheap Grizzlies T-Shirts , you end up paying almost forty to fifty per cent of the amount you actually owe. Now, is this not good enough reason to favourfavors it instead of other alternative?


When it comes to debt consolidation bankruptcy, bankruptcy is considered to be the last resort one tends to choose. It is a common knowledge that it casts an negative impact of a long-term nature on the creditworthiness practiced by you. The bankruptcy continues to stay on the credit report for a long time sometimes even up to 10 years! Experts of the industry believe this can act as a hindrance to your ability for getting suitable insurance, credit or a job. This puts an additional responsibility on your shoulders to have a better understanding of all available options at your disposal before you arrive at a decision.
