Power Genitalia

Power Genitalia…sounds like some strange new form of penis enlarger or sex toy. Nope…it’s actually an Italian firm that produces power generation products. You’d think that someone would check up on these things…

Hmm, the simple risk of your perfectly sensible domain name being interpreted very differently in other languages. [NOTE: text not mine. DL]

At least they should then have created a brilliant logo.....

If you were a company called Powergen and you had a subsidiary that operated in Italy, what would you call that company's Web site?.

Probably not http://www.powergenitalia.com

But they really did. ...
