    Domain name was cheap.

    Everyone in tech knows you find a domain name first, then decide what kind of business to build around it.

        That prolapse joke was a stretch.

          I dunno man. It sounds promising. Sounds like something one should goatse for one’s self.

    Reminds me of the old website for Microsoft Exchange support… expertsexchange.com

    Eventually they hyphenated it.

    They are following on the footsteps of Procreate, but missed the concept of nuance.

    I typed in the URL figuring it wasn’t going to be real, but it is.

    I’m thinking that there were people in the chain who recognized the issue, but didn’t speak up because they thought it would make them look bad. A grass roots emperor’s new clothes kind of thing.

      Maybe they’re aware and this is how they get their free advertising ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I could believe that. Alternately, someone knew exactly what they were doing and just let it ride to see how far it would get.

      I’ve seen both cases in real life.

    GTA grade name.

    (There’s already a company in GTA called ProLaps, which is sports equipment)

    Sounds like this brand name needs a new start.

    A NEW START… Hmm…

    I got it!

    ANUSTART!

    Related: GTA games are full of parody companies and brands with childish humour and, yes, there’s a sportswear brand in GTA called ProLaps. Their motto is “Strain Hard”.

        Is that a pun on Ballsack?

        Sorry if it was obvious, English isn’t my first language.

          Yes, that is basically how one would pronounce “ballsack” with a Scottish accent (Rockstar North, the historical “main” GTA studio, is Scottish). And it is also referencing the IRL Nasdaq

    Since it’s Halloween, there is a music video about anal prolapse. I’m not going to link to it because it literally gave me nightmares, but search for it if you dare.

    It’s a pretty good marketing strategy, to be honest. I’m telling all my friends about this as I’m writing this post.
