The Best Fucking Ad Blogger in the World™——now writing for BuzzFeed.com. I have been an NYC advertising copywriter for 19 years. I hate capri pants. Also: advertising, PR, midtown, the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, going to Brooklyn, NYC realtors, New York City, fake blondes, real blondes, saline implants, silicone implants, Civil War enthusiasts, Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives, fireworks, parades, Summer, Winter, greeting cards, stuffed animals, children's drawings, religions, personal trainers, golf, golf courses, golfers, polo shirts, turtlenecks, scarves, The Yankees, Yankee fans, mooks, Streeters, iBankers, the Hamptons, Hoboken, Chicago, Texas, Florida, people who don't know how to walk in NYC, whistling, Moby, TV, Radio, Magazines, Newspapers, stand-up comedy, Improv comedy, sketch comedy, "alt" comedy, Readings, poetry slams, SUVs, PCs, drinking straws, weddings, Brunch, fondue fountains, chick peas, Starbucks coffee, journalists, screenwriters (dicks), short men (Napoleon Complexed turds), Scrabble®, people who don't hate anything. I probably at least don't care for you.
One would think that with all the anti-arab/muslim sentiment in the US, CAMEL TOWING would be replaced with "DRONEDARY [sic] TOWING", just as 'french' was replaced with 'freedom fries/toast' and when the US entered World War I, the name of German-style Sauerkraut was temporarily changed to 'liberty cabbage'.
There's one in the Philly suburbs called Main Line Hooker Service. (http://www.manta.com/c/mm82mvr/main-line-hooker-service-inc) They had the contract for illegally parked cars at my high school, and the sign always made us laugh.
I recently mooved to Canada from LA and have been looking for a serious winter coat (never needed much more than a hoodie for the last 10 years). Anyway, while shopping I found this outerwear company called "Moose Knuckle". I thought maybe it was something that didn't translate well from the french canadian. But I think I might be giving them too much credit. Anyway, this post made me think of it. If you don't believe it exists, here is the homepage: http://store.mooseknucklescanada.com//

You forgot to link to your post about Kamel Towing in EP. I think I sent you that about three or four years ago.
Thanks. Added.
Meanwhile in St. Louis, Mike Christopher thought "fuck yeah, I'm fucking clever and this business is a Snatch".

Dumb hick, where's his patriotism?

Why should I care if they name their towing company after a brand of cigarettes?
It's a 'shop. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few photoshops in my time.
