It gets even weirder

So, I've been snortling because of a shopping bag I see here used by Urban Behaviour ( http://www.urbanbehavior.com/ ).  It's a white bag, with black printing on it like thus:

Sexy
Modern
Edgy
Generation

And I've been thinking - doesn't anybody ever check their acronyms before they chose a slogan?

And you know, I was expecting the google search to turn up this entry first one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smeg_%28vulgarism%29

But it was not.

Instead the first google entry was this:
http://www.smeg.com/
which led to this:
http://www.smegusa.com/
Upon which website, if you wait for the images to scroll by, you will eventually see retro-50's fridge, in candy cane pink, with the acronym SMEG in big chrome letters across the front.

Oy.

I mean: oy.

Have you not encountered Smeg fridges before ? :-)

There used to be a shop in Taunton many moons ago which had several in the window. Never failed to make me giggle, child that I am :-)

Never ever before. :) That pink fridge was a shock. :)

They're obviously not polite enough for Canada :-)
