Not badly named as such, but it makes you wonder why they felt they had to mention it:

not badly named, but using the wrong type of logo.

I'm surprised that the onomatopoeically-named FAP (a UAE power company) didn't get on there. It has a fabulous spurting CDC logo.

I read that Susan Boyle released a new album, launched with the website susanalbumparty.com

Innocent enough, until you respace the words.

I rather like the idea of arty bumps...

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #219 on:** 15 December, 2013, 05:27:20 pm »

Or Susana and her pound of arty ump(h).

A couple of years ago I lived just around the corner from a hairdresser's called "The hairdresser" where they'd had the letters done randomly in yellow, orange, blue and green. Unfortunately they'd not paid enough attention to which letters would disappear under sodium streetlighting and at night the sign would appear as:

T.. .A.R...S.E.

After the infamous Michael Fish storm of 1987, the branch of Dewhurst the Butcher, in Southend, had all the letters blown off the front of the shop. Some wag had returned them, but rearranged them to read "WE TURDS". I don't know what happened to the H. Perhaps they dropped it.

"Ned" wine. That's aspirational marketing if I ever saw it.

Tautology there, Su, and a missing apostrophe.
