What do you think of the name "Pimp Juice?"

In My Humble Opinion
1

There’s a new sports drink on the market called Pimp Juice.

Do you find this name offensive? Is this name on the cutting edge of marketing or is it named in bad taste?

Have you tried it?

2

It’s marketed by Nelly who has a song by the same name.

I have not tried it but I do not find the name in itself offensive.

3

I would be offended if it weren’t made with 100% real pimps.

4

I’m sure it will be sitting next to crystal Pepsi in the big supermarket shelf in the sky in no more then 6 months.

Not even enough time to get outraged.

6

I think I’ll try to make some homemade, it must be delicious or how could they sell it? I’ll just find some pimps and shove them in the Cuisinart.
Do everyone a favor. MMmmm Mmmm… Wait a minute, I think I have a piece of leopard print pleather stuck in my teeth…

7

You dare besmirch the name of Crystal Pepsi! I miss that wonderful stuff.

8

Reminds me of the word pimple too much. So I would not imbibe.

9

Not offensive, but just plain dumb.

I, too, think ‘pimple’ when I hear of this drink.

This reminds me of a list of things on auction in a paper I saw somewhere, it was an alphabetical list of a lot of things from all over Iceland. The list included…

(stuff)
Calf press
12 Calves
(stuff)

Never accused of being the sharpest tool in the shed I didn’t realise that the calf press is some sort of new-age workout gizmo and thought (for about 10 seconds) that it might be for making delicious calf juice. You know… to get you in the right moooood (well, you can’t expect a good pun from someone who doesn’t know what a calf press is) or whatever… I giggled…

Anyways, Pimp Juice you say? I like it, I’ll take a crate. It’ll probably look good with my red tux and knitted top-hat.

11

Neither. It’s just dumb.

12

I’m just worried people might think of something else when they see “Pimp Juice” …

13

are they free-range Pimps? You know they taste better.

      • Yes it is offensive, concerning it uses a term derivitive of forced prostitution, and to some extent a racial stereotype. I doubt you’ll see it on too many store shelves however, as last time I read anything about it, a couple of the larger black religious organizations were protesting it, many other smaller organizations of every other stripe too, and nobody was actively defending his right to sell the stuff. One of the biggest groups was a national Islamist group–and you just know that when the towelheads won’t defend a brother, it’s time to find a new hobby.
  • On the other hand, it is pretty strong evidence that Nelly is a tasteless bore–not exactly news to many, but it’s nice to see these suspicions self-confirmed now and then.
