My, my. Foreign companies really seem to want to amuse us with their naming right now.

Recently, [Fraser](http://fraserspeirs.livejournal.com/1016850.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) found the unfortunately-named job site [Jobby](http://www.gojobby.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

Now, as [Chris](http://kit-hartford.livejournal.com/69621.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) points out, Nintendo has named its new games console the [Wii](http://www.nintendo-europe.com/NOE/en/GB/news/article.do?elementId=8BSOIycJ4t1tpTSwy9u2VmCZRDTV1y8N&ref=onemanandhisblog.com). That’s pronounced �wee�, folks. Clearly, somebody didn’t do their culture research. I’m looking forward to the handheld version, the Wee Wii.
