Sorry, I just can’t stop now. Anal Viper. Along the Phaeton lines, Odyssey is kind of a dumb name for a car when you think about it: what, it takes 10 years to get home, you’re abducted by monsters along the way, and meanwhile the neighbours are all trying to get into your wife’s pants?

Let me just wipe the coffee off the screen and say that was a good one!

The thing that really bugs mew about the Toe-Rag is the idiotic ad campaign it was launched with.

Basically it was a bunch of people standing around debating the correct pronounciation of the name and then the tagline was something like “You won’t know how to pronounce, but you’ll like it.”

What a load! And borderline insulting. And really stupid, why would you deliberately name a car something that people couldn’t pronounce?

It boggles the mind.
