There are some shockers around so I'm sure we can all find some great examples.

I'd like to nominate the Ford Ecosport.


Eco...sport?? Seriously?? Even if it was made entirely of recycled cardboard and could complete the Nurburgring in 7 minutes, "Ecosport" would still be a shiit name, just a tragedy of zero creativity.

I guess they could have just called the "car", but they'd already used that a few years back, but spelled it "Ka".

The jingle they play on the ad makes it even worse....

"It's so hard to have a gay time on your own."


Ecosport....I could see that as the name of a variant, but the actual name of the model? Ugghhh!

Sometimes the names are so obvious, that you might wish they weren't, like when you are buying some.

Mitsubishi PAJERO. (Had to be renamed the Montero in countries with a lot of Spanish speakers). If this makes no sense, google "pajero" and "slang".

Although not a consumer product, this bus company chose an unfortunate name.

^^ If "sluts" had another meaning like many of the other products here, maybe.

"cheap, fast and easy" sounds a bit too much for an asian product slogan. Some above are funny due to the obvious lack of understanding / Engrish. But this is too obvious, I reckon it is faked. That's all.

By the way, I feed them a few lines, and hope to score. Much like you do on here I reckon.

And the social media addict sluts on here predictably bite every time. lol

All in good fun dude. Smile Have a laugh

Sorry if it makes you sad all the time.

On a happier note, I think the BEST consumer product name has gotta be from the Aussie instant engine starter spray.
