Another Viet Namese restaurant, "Pho Bich Ngr" or something like that, I can't remember if I saw that in Calgary or on the net.

Because of the risk of reaching bannination, I'm just going to laugh hysterically and say nothing here.

Theres a place we saw in Mexico called:

Master Baiters -Sportfishing & Tackle :P

French Connection actually has some nice clothes, but most people only seem to buy the ugly ones with the huge text on them. Doesn't offend me, but it is kind of a lame gimic.

Ok. First of all, I am no goody goody prude dude. Far from it.

I see more and more evidence everyday of our society going to shinguard. As my job takes me all over the city every day, I see countless examples of the lack of respect for ourselves. Everything from offensive bumper/window stickers, t-shirts, to rediculous business names. Doggy Style is the name of some dog parlor in town. Granted, it's imaginative, and even a little humorous. But c'mon, they coulda done better. Another one off the top of my head is some garbage pickup outfit advertising if you need a good dump to give them a call. Amusing, but whatever, it sucks. The latest one though really passing me off is the fata store in Chinook. Ok, its sposed to be an acronym for french connection UK some damn thing, but that part is in very small letters after you read the fata. Lets face it. The first thing you read is FATA. NO? Doesnt this offend you? Like I say, I'm no prude.....but man I got limits. I mean.....I swear, I listen to loud music, I drive fast (when it's safe), I've done my share of drinking/drugs, heck, I even make lotsa noise at hockey and football games. But you know what? I respect what you may think of that, and I definately pick and choose whom I swear around. I speed out in the middle of nowhere, and wouldnt think of drinking around someone not comfortable with that. I dunno, maybe thats jsut the way things are evolving, and its not a big deal to people any more. Maybe I'm starting to get old and behind the times. Maybe I'm outta touch. I am though interested in what you think of this.

edit : see,.....even CP disguises the store name !! it's F*C*U*K for those that dont know

Dont you have anything better to do than get worked up over this kind of thing?

You're right man, society is going to shinguard. I'll tell you what I think. People don't care about nothing no more, man. No one wants to do the right thing anymore, especially the young generation. It's selfishness and greediness that rules the world. What did they talk about in fight club? A whole bunch of kids growing up thinking like they are gonna be big stars; or in any way related to this, be it a fata store or whatever, seeking attention they don't need. It's the same basic principal: "Look at me!" Most of the ones you see running around, buck-wild like that and all, they aren't even old enough to know what the real world is all about. Life might turn out to suck for them because they do it the way they are told instead of making up their own damn minds. These kids today are being controlled and maybe even brainwashed (by commercialism), to a point where it's almost as sad as it looks to be stupid. Money ruins people but the kids can't see that and they aren't being taught because their own damn parents are the ones chasing it. "I got bling and you got zing so that makes me something and you nothing." They need to stop running around the malls, turn the tv's off and burn the magazines with models on the cover and sit down and read a damn book. And I mean a real book, not something barbie or britney spears "wrote". There's too much knowledge to be achieved to sit around dreaming about un-realities, but that's what they do. And how do you fix it? Or better yet, can it even be fixed now?

You know the funny thing; we are trying to find a good book that we should read.
And we should.
And we are trying to catch up with this advanced comp stuff. And we should.

All that really matters is your family and friends. And all that really matters to you is you.
Silly me I have no idea why this is relevant. Thanks H@L nice pic ,peca?

Never

Never ever joke with your company name. Except when you can afford the lawyers to defend ,the marketers to position and more "marketers" to sell.
You probably can't. Or this is your strategy. I doubt any of the above are cashing in on a "Shocking Strategy" it is not sustainable for any business.

Keep your name simple and market it. The 4 P's.

This thread reminds me of the place I stayed on a field trip to Cold Lake.

BJ Inn. What a classy joint that was. I was afraid to sleep in the bed with a name like that.
