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".

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

The one that always gets me is the stock market app being called Bawsaq

[-] rockhstrongo@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago

Sounds like this brand name needs a new start.

A NEW START... Hmm...

I got it!

ANUSTART!

"...and she never even saw the license plate."

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

I see you work for the marketing company prolapse hired! Its like shitty hallmark cards!

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Sounds like a Windows start menu replacement.

[-] generichate1546@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 15 hours ago

Wow... didn't even read the title, saw the logo and my brain responded Rectum‽

Hey Dad! I didnt know you were on lemmy!

[-] noisefree@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Nope, Chuck Testa!

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

No, I said to stick a rose in your button hole

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 107 points 1 day ago

Reminds me of the old website for Microsoft Exchange support... expertsexchange.com

Eventually they hyphenated it.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 59 points 23 hours ago
[-] Anivia@feddit.org 7 points 6 hours ago

Ye, but that one is on purpose

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Yeah after reading the whole site, I agree. I just remembered it being mentioned in the same context on QI as the site "expertsexchange".

[-] rooster_butt@lemm.ee 6 points 6 hours ago

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.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 day ago

I mean, if I got a sex change, I sure as hell would want it to be done by an expert.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Amateursexchange.com?

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Sex change operations as a hobby, now that's something

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 19 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

/#susanalbumparty lol

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 12 points 23 hours ago

powergen.italia

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 134 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Domain name was cheap.

Everyone in tech knows you find a domain name first, then decide what kind of business to build around it.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 92 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Prolapse tech is blowing up and out the door. The back door.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That prolapse joke was a stretch.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 day ago

You wouldn't get it .... it's an inside joke

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

It's supposed to be, anyway.

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 12 points 1 day ago

"It's an inside out joke" was right there

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.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

Maybe they're aware and this is how they get their free advertising ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] a2part2@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

A bit like pen island?

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.

[-] Eccitaze@yiffit.net 7 points 19 hours ago

Brought to you by the American National Automation Laboratory Corp?

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 46 points 1 day ago

GTA grade name.

(There's already a company in GTA called ProLaps, which is sports equipment)

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago

They are following on the footsteps of Procreate, but missed the concept of nuance.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

What a wonderful day to have a mind

Stab-lapse. For stabilisation, not for stabbing.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 4 points 18 hours ago

Stabilapse?

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

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.
