It makes my skin crawl when they use terms such as, The absolute worst, though, is Senny Cans (Sennheiser Headphones) Can you guys think of any others? |

I bought my Yammy receiver at Busted Buy and my vintage Panny cans on Fleabay. My old Rat Shack speakers are good enough to listen to eMpty3's. I was at Busted Buy yesterday looking for a ree-placement for my wee-jun free DVD player and I scored a wee-jun free blue-ray of Mannequin 2 for only $1.99. I'm sure you can guess how I spent my Noo Years Eva - with a bag of Skinny Pop in front of my So-ny HDTV.
I think the people behind Schiit Audio really must have known their target demographic. Schiit was a totally made-up brand name, not some German family or anything, perfect for idiots like Arnold Grove to make stupid puns with.

BBC breakfast radio DJ Sarah Kennedy:
“Kennedy;s reworking of English words was a distinctive element of the show. She changed names as follows: "The Eaglingtons" (The Eagles), "The Kinkingtons" (The Kinks), "Sainsbugs" (Sainsbury's), "Colleag-wees" (colleagues), "supermercado" (supermarkets as in Spain), "breasticles"/"chesticles" (breasts), Chancellor of the Exchequingtons etc. She frequently read out the expression "SW's to you" from listeners who wrote in. "SWs" was shorthand for "Love the show" (as in the often-used phrase by Steve Wright on his programmes, hence the use of his initials). Many listeners wrote in to ask what "SWs" actually meant, but she rarely explained it. Kennedy was also said to have been the first person to use the term 'white van man' in 1997. "Bunty Bagshaw" was an eccentric alter-ego she adopted.”

Also Sarah Kennedy:
“In October 2007, she was reprimanded after joking (in a segment about the importance of wearing visible clothing in winter road conditions) that she had almost run over a black pedestrian because she couldn't see him in the dark. The BBC later apologised for the comment. She has previously opined that black men dominate athletics because they are accustomed to being pursued by lions.
She was also "spoken to" by BBC bosses after she praised Enoch Powell during a show in July 2009, describing Powell as "the best Prime Minister this country never had".
In May 2014, Kennedy was banned from driving for 22 months for drunk driving. She had crashed into a stationary car.“
