View Full Version : Cock Up
Makers of the cereal Weetos have apologised for a marketing blunder that saw a new promotional campaign use a Scottish slang term for male genitalia.
The product box features a range of cartoon moustaches with a variety of labels, one of which is "Big Baws".
"Big Baws" is described on the box as being as tall as a mountain and strong as a bear, but the term has an alternate meaning in Scotland....

I think "Big Balls" would be a good name for an extreme hobby or sporting goods store...
"Honey, I'm going to Big Balls to get a new bungee cord."
Got a nice ring to it...
We also had Hurricain Baw Bag not that long ago :woot:

The bot also doesn't ban asterisks. In fact it uses them itself. Yet the rules are quite clear on that.

Christ, the Crimina... I mean the Aussies have found this thread. Don't make any sudden movements or look them in the eye.

The problem with australia is not that they have people decended from criminals, it is that they have people decended from the screws.
It is why you can say it is screwed up while a forum filter would block you from saying it was ****** up.:D
