Names are getting stranger these days. I prefer the traditional names like Tom, Jack, Bob and John. It’s simple.
Ever wondered how did George Lucas come up with the name for R2-D2?
Rumor has it that George Lucas and a co-worker were editing American Graffiti, when a co-worker asked Lucas for âReel Two, Dialog Twoâ, which is abbreviated âR2D2â. Lucas supposedly wrote down the abbreviation and used it as the name of the now famous droid in Star Wars.

This poor Singapore taxi driver has the most unfortunate name. And partly because it actually went up to Digg.com top list.
(You are travelling in comfort with Chew Kok.)
I do cab around sometimes but I haven’t seen this taxi driver in Singapore. I always look at the driver names. Yes, taxi drivers, I always look at your name tags and I always end up remembering your license plate number whether I want it or not.

Creative finally learnt some branding lesson. Their branding is almost terrible. They have products like:
- ZEN Vision W
- ZEN Vision
- ZEN Vision:M
- ZEN V Plus
- ZEN V
- ZEN Stone Plus
- ZEN Stone
- ZEN Wav
- ZEN Neeon 2
- ZEN Neeon 512MB/ 1GB/ 2GB
- ZEN Neeon 5GB/ 6GB
- ZEN MicroPhoto
- ZEN Nano Plus
Looking at all these names make me giddy, I don’t feel zen at all.
“Dad I want a Zen.”
“Oh, is it the Vision W or the Vision or the Vision: M?”
Perhaps this branding confusion is due to Creative being unsure what sort of what products consumers really want. They throw out like 10 designs and just bet that one of them should be favorable among the consumers. Creative ZEN Whatever should be just Creative ZEN. (more…)
The Game Gods discovered some of the worst names for pornographic films:
- I Saw Mommy Eating Santa Claus
- May the Foreskin Be With You
- Hairy Peter and the prisoner of Ass-ka-bang
- Star Warts Episode 1: the Phantom penis
- Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch
- Time Strippers 2: G-String Theory
- When Harry Met Hairier
- Star warts episode 5: the hump-pire strikes from the back
I wonder if Star Warts actually stars Darth Vader.
If the price is right, I’ll snap up a .asia domain, hahaa… It just sounds kinda cool and I’m proud to be in Asia.
Internet to get .asia addresses
Starting in October, the first net addresses ending in .asia will be assigned, DotAsia Organization Ltd. said Thursday.
The non-profit group, representing countries including China, Japan and India, will start giving names to governments and registered trademark holders in October, and follow up with companies in mid-November.
Potential registrants must be based in Asia, including Australia and New Zealand.

“Mommy! I want to go to Kid sex change!”
This is really unfortunately. If you were to one day grow up and realize where your parents have been bringing you to, you’ll sure be quite embarrassed.
