    basically it is a site about how to feed your dog with biological raw food.

    their acronym is BARF (Biologisch Artgerechtes Rohes Futter) = (biological, species-appropriate, raw food)

    No deception means misleading, being dishonest, so it is more like along the lines of trickery. Magicians do a lot of deceptions.

    I remember when the PSA Evasion launched here in the UK as the Synegie because it was felt the original name suggested use as a getaway car! Also, didn't Ford have to retitle one of their cars in America once because of an unintended Spanish phallic reference?

    But your dog needs good food, or not?

    Google "A2M" and you'll never look at this company's logo again

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MR2

    Was renamed in France to just "MR", guess why... ^^

    It isn't really fitting but is instead just funny... but I've always liked "AMS Syndrome", which stands for ATM Machine Syndrome Syndrome, or Automatic teller machine machine sydrome sydrome.

    Yeah, it's just made-up because it's awesome.

    I like it when people say "LCD display".

    I've seen a sticker for "The New NT Technology". NT stands for New Technology, so that's a bit obvious. "The New New Technology Technology" :lol:

    I also liked the company A2M :clap:

    Not an acronym, But the Mitsubishi Pajero was renamed Montero in spanish speaking countries, since Pajero means wanker in Spanish... xDDDDDD

    I thought it meant parrot? Or is that pajaro? I can't remember, lol.

    Pájaro is bird. Parrot... I don't know what a parrot is, I think it's a "loro". xDDD

    Not true, I have seen many mitsubishi pajero's in spain and yes i LOL'ed

    ?? Really? With a Spanish license plate? I've never seen a Pajero over there, maybe in Madrid you like more having fun with your hands. :dance:

    we had a mitsubishi pajero once, great car.

    Were the seats full of white sticky stuff?:lol:

    Japanese suck at spanish, they also made a car called Moco (bugger, and it was mucus green too!) and another called Laputa, which is the equivalent of "the whore"

    They renamed Mortal Kombat: Deception for the French market since "déception" means disappointment ^^

    Doesn't it do too in English? o_o
