I'm a little reluctant to post this, please let me know ASAP if I should delete, and please keep it clean! (Is that a hypocritical request?)

We have a plethora of Asian soup places around here. The latest is called King's and their cards and menu say

It's not just good
It's Pho King good!

People are collecting the cards and displaying them around work.

Reminds me of the ad I saw somewhere for a place called Sofa King:
Our prices are Sofa King low.

Same disclaimer as TsPoet: if anyone finds this too offensive, I'll be happy to delete it.

I think the creators of the ads should be slapped silly. But the ad is serving the purpose, getting the name of the company out. Just not in very good taste.

The question is, are they doning it on purpose? I think Sofa King had to, our thought is Soup King didn't, but who knows?

Unless they just got off the boat, I bet one of the family members is under the age of 25 and bamboozled the older folks. Me thinks they had to know. But I could be wrong, and will eat crow if need be.
