This is just too much fun
Some enterprising blogger pokes fun at advertising. ADmonishments will probably never lack for material. I think I will be making regular visits to this one.
Here's a recent offering.

Frankly, I'm surprised this business isn't in Florida. In 8 years in Florida, I was alarmed by the number of businesses that were comfortable having KKK initials. It seemed like every business that should have had a C in its name had a K. Kash n Karry. Kwik Klean Kompany. Kountry Kitchen.
At Harding University in Arkansas, where I went to school, there was a social club called Kappa Kappa Kappa.
A black student once gave a very funny chapel talk in which he recalled walking across the campus for the first time and seeing someone wearing a KKK T-shirt coming toward him...
iryn, It seems to me that the fifties and sixties spawned an enormous number of businesses with deliberate misspellings. I guess they thought it was cute. It makes me cringe, even without the unfortunate connotations of all those K's. I wonder how many businesses in the south deliberately went after the triple K.
Ed, I wish I had heard that speech. But of course, I wasn't around in the forties. *ducks and runs*

Oy, Jared. That was totally weird.
Ouch! Would think they see that and change.
Kimmi, a scarier thought is that they have noticed and don't care. Granted, changing a business name is an undertaking, but still... That name is so tacky even without the racist connotations.
