I was being sarcastic. Maybe I should have added the sarcasm tag: /s.

There are two Vietnamese restaurants here in Toronto with unique names. One is Pho Now. There is Pho Ever. There exists a clothing brand called Fcuk. I know how I pronounce that one. Do elected city persons have their sense of humour removed when elected?

Local government has to set standards, or the whole town will soon look vulgar when the shops start with the "one-upping". Use your noodles, people!

Reminds me of the “Sofa King” skit on Saturday Night Live.

There was a fairly local garage band started by high school kids called Sofa King. This was 15-20 yrs. ago, so I don't know what the time line for s.n.l. would have been.
