Best ironic descriptions game...
OK, I need a laugh after a long Monday, so here are the rules for this game: a straight description for a product or service has unintended and humorous double-meanings. The Chevy Nova when marketed in Latin America is a good historical example.

My recent one: Found as I scrolled through the DirecTV guide at the house I was dogsitting at this weekend (I have no TV at my place, so this was an unusual activity for me). Oh, and the "blah-blah-blah" in my quote is for the unmemorable stuff in the middle of the listing.

"MSNBC: (9:00-10:00 PM) Lock-up: blah-blah-blah... News, series"

Thanks to the piss-poor quality of MSRNC's prison-fetish journalism, combined with DU's snark, the end of this description had me :rofl:

Anyone got more? I need news... series!q1!!!!11!
