A new store set to open next week on trendy Melrose Avenue is causing controversy because of its name.

Offensive Store Name Causing Community Outcry

Can't do it with the censored filters.

It's a name for a Love Shop...I wonder how long that place will last?

I new an Italian guy who had his own business installing closet shelving, he called his business:

"Tony's Well Hung Closets"

I saw that on the news last night. Good grief!!

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Reminds me of the controversy surrounding the fashion label FCUK from a few years ago.

Well when offended folks boycott the store and enlist protests in front of it, we'll see how long their business, and their profits last. Sounds like the store SUcks at public relations.

I wish we as a country wern't so prudish. It takes the fun out of life.

It does bother me that is says the store is near an elementary school. Most little kids try to read everything they see, and I would be upset if my kid was sounding out that.

We have a law here that those types of stores can only be located in certain areas of town, away from all the schools and stuff. However, we've never had one with a name like that either. It probably wouldn't go over well no matter where it was located.

I'm not seeing it when I click on the link

A few years ago, I visited Finland with my ex, who is originally from there.

There is a series of stores where one K is a convenience store, two Ks is a small grocery store and three Ks is a superstore.

I had to admit it felt weird going shopping at the "KKK Supermarket." Of course, it doesn't have the same meaning over there and is not controversial.

But can you imagine if they tried to open one up here in America?:eek:

haha thats hilarious

I can't find the article. :confused:
