So, there's this new online thing called the "knowledge generation bureau" Okay, I can deal with the name, but then they abbreviated it to "KGB". Does this strike anyone else as possibly a poor name for a new business? Did no one notice this?
Hey, when a bank called First Union gets abbreviated to FU - what can we say??? Just another thing to make us smile.
anyone else have any other abbreviation faux paus?

I saw this. I thought it was incredibly stupid.

not an acronym, but an old classic nonetheless: http://www.penisland.net/
though for what it's worth, i'm pretty sure penisland is a gag.
I don't think this Knowledge Generation Bureau thing is the real business. It's some sort of pre-Superbowl viral marketing campaign by some big company trying to be cool. Probably IBM or something. My guess is there'll be a big SUperbowl ad that ties it all together and we find out that <company X> has all the same answers yadda yadda yadda.
I wish I could be inoculated from viral campaigns. :-\

Here in Houston we have a company called "BJ services" Their web page (http://www.bjservices.com/) reads like a DIY double entendre: "BJ news", "Go BJ!", and of course, "tubular services. "
I checked out the KGB website....sounds just like a service I use now called Cha-Cha.
I was hoping it would be some sort of Russian intellegence recruitment site.... [laugh]
