Related: GTA games are full of parody companies and brands with childish humour and, yes, there's a sportswear brand in GTA called ProLaps. Their motto is "Strain Hard".
The one that always gets me is the stock market app being called Bawsaq
Is that a pun on Ballsack?
Sorry if it was obvious, English isn't my first language.
Sounds like this brand name needs a new start.
A NEW START... Hmm...
I got it!
ANUSTART!
the best kind of tart
"...and she never even saw the license plate."
I see you work for the marketing company prolapse hired! Its like shitty hallmark cards!
Sounds like a Windows start menu replacement.
Brought to you by the American National Automation Laboratory Corp?
Stab-lapse. For stabilisation, not for stabbing.
Stabilapse?
Laspter Free and Lapster Pro.
That sounds like a timelapse of someone being stabbed.
Or when you've not kept your stabbing credentials up to date?
It's a pretty good marketing strategy, to be honest. I'm telling all my friends about this as I'm writing this post.
I'll remebef the name of this for sure
Reminds me of the old website for Microsoft Exchange support... expertsexchange.com
Eventually they hyphenated it.
/#susanalbumparty lol
Still works and everything.
From their FAQ:
Q: Can I provide my own wood? A: In most cases we can handle your wood. We do require all shipments to be clean, free of parasites and pass all standard customs inspections.
Ye, but that one is on purpose
Yeah after reading the whole site, I agree. I just remembered it being mentioned in the same context on QI as the site "expertsexchange".
powergen.italia
I mean, if I got a sex change, I sure as hell would want it to be done by an expert.
Amateursexchange.com?
Sex change operations as a hobby, now that's something
It's a fun way to spend a weekend, the most important thing is to rememeber that it's just a fun hobby and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
I typed in the URL figuring it wasn't going to be real, but it is.
I'm thinking that there were people in the chain who recognized the issue, but didn't speak up because they thought it would make them look bad. A grass roots emperor's new clothes kind of thing.
I could believe that. Alternately, someone knew exactly what they were doing and just let it ride to see how far it would get.
I've seen both cases in real life.
Maybe they're aware and this is how they get their free advertising ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A bit like pen island?
Could be.
GTA grade name.
(There's already a company in GTA called ProLaps, which is sports equipment)
What's wrong with this?
Use "prolapse" as a search term on a porn site
Oh it's a term linked to that industry...
But I suppose average people will not know of that meaning, so it's a perfectly fine brand name (I also still don't know what it means but know enough to know that I don't want to know it)
Oh it’s a term linked to that industry…
...It's tangentially related to the porn industry, but primarily, it is also the actual medical terminology many are probably more familiar with, so still wouldn't be a great idea even in that context. (You get a pass if English is not your first language, otherwise, it should be fairly common knowledge.)
Here's the "fun fact" related to the term. When dogs poop, their butt prolapses a bit, meaning some of the insides extend to the outside, and then retracts after. That's why they don't generally have a bunch of poop on the outside afterwards.
oh hey thats pretty useful why dont humans have that
Or WebMD maybe
Maybe, but you're going to get the real experience on a porn site.
As an aside, with no intent to kink shame, I've always been surprised at how significant/popular that subcategory is. I have a hard time even seeing the thumbnails.
It's certainly prevalent. I've no intention of ever watching it.
I remember once upon a time not knowing what it was and watching one. If I saw that in real life, I'd call 911.
