There’s always Bunghole Liquors.
McDonald’s tried to be hip and failed, oh so spectacularly:

“Why take diet pills when you can enjoy AYDS?”
How about both horrifying and hilarious? :eek:
I’m pretty sure it’s a Mexican company, FTR. I’m surprised anyone knows about Bimbo in North Carolina.
Not if it were pronounced “Noggo”. “Nova” and “no va” are pronounced differently in Spanish. A native speaker of the language wouldn’t make the connection, any more than we would think that (say) “Tabell” meant “table”.
In other words, it sounds like “semen”. Yes, that would be the point.
In Ireland, the union that pilots negotiate under is called IMPACT.
I seem to be the only person who finds it funny.
Ooh I just remembered another one. I know for sure that the owner of Rim Liquor didn’t know what he was doing when he named the place, because I talked to him. It’s near the Mogollon Rim and everything up there is named Rim something. He’s capitalized on it with funny tshirts now, though.
I know about it in England, owing to a scene in Kill Bill where Uma Thurman is seen in close proximity to a loaf of bread with Bimbo written on the side.
And the name makes it a very popular car with members of the Ku Klux Klan.
It’s pronounced the same as Semen. I sell their products at work now, and working with their people makes it clear that Siemens really does come from dicks.
Ottawa: Technically Beautiful
The city paid consultants a lot of money to come up with that one. :smack:
There’s also Karson Kartage & Konstruction. You really have to wonder about people who would deliberately misspell two words to come up with that acronym.
Anybody else remember the hoopla over Uptown Cigarettes, from RJ Reynolds?
Haven’t tried the baked version, but I don’t care for their other products. They have a suspiciously syrupy texture that tells me they may add corn syrup or some other additive to them.
Saw a box of this laundry detergent in New York.

Cock soup anyone? http://www.buygracefoods.com/site/product.cfm?id=cock_soup_env
What about it?
We have one of the fastest growing Latino populations in America. And while they started in Mexico, they do have a U.S. presence. And don’t get me wrong, I figured it was less a situation of “look what those dummies did” than “my, that’s an unfortunate coincidence.” And the Bimbo bear is totally adorable.
I ran into a few of these in England, notably “Bland Travel” and “Lilywhite,” which sold sports clothing.
Ah. I thought they were only here because of proximity, like how you can get Mexican Coca-Cola at convenience stores here.
Yeah, of course it’s just an unfortunate coincidence. But a hilarious one 
And yes, the bear is totally adorable. Which is probably the strangest part of it.
Oh, and NDP, that was hilarious!
I must be in the minority here, because the brand is very popular, but I can’t hear Trojan without certain things coming to mind. Things like tiny,virile warriors sneaking into the city, etc… I know better than to let a Trojan horse into the gate of my city.
They actually never went by that name. The closest was “Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance”—the word “Party” wasn’t part of the official name, though I suppose some people may have tacked it onto the end for the humour value.
