プロバスク「bjリーグ」
A new professional basketball league debuts today in Japan. And it follows an unfortunate but hilarious Japanese tradition of badly choosing an acronym or product name. The "BJ League" will feature six teams based in cities around Japan, and is sure to draw snickers from foreign fans. It joins other badly--some would say deliciously--named goods:
Cars
Daihatsu Naked
Mineral Water
Kolic
Cigarettes
Hope
Japanese Coffee Creamer
Creap Creamy Powder
Sport Drink
Pocari Sweat
Calpis (pronounced in Japanese: cow piss)
Canned CoffeeGod
Gum
Shocking gum
Clothing Brand
Bitch
Instant coffee
I'm Dripper
...and many, many more too numerous to mention.
