A world of worlds is right around the corner

August 17th, 2010 15 Comments By Paul Smith

One of our favourite Flickr groups, and Facebook pages, is World World, curated by avid Bitterwallet reader James Cridland. It’s a collection of photos that demonstrate how critical thinking can be lacking at the most important step of launching a new business – specifically, naming it.

The rules of World World are straight forward enough: the name of the business must be in the form <what it sells> World. For example, this prime specimen was spotted by your avid Bitterwallet editors in London recently:

food world 500x375 A world of worlds is right around the corner

And there’s this from Kuala Lumpur:

Bitterwallet Jigsaw Puzzle World A world of worlds is right around the corner

If may seem difficult to imagine that whole worlds of food and jigsaws can even exist, but these people are clearly thinking in ways we can’t comprehend with our feeble minds. If you spot anymore, be sure to join the groups and submit your contributions – the world needs more worlds, people.

    Why is Jigsaw Puzzle World selling stools? Eh? Hmm? Well?

    I think World Of Sport would be a good one.

    The best thing about these “World” places is that they actually know nothing about the “Word” that they of.

    Did you see what I did there? I implied that PC World staff know know nothing about PC’s!

    Yes, you typed an incoherent sentence and followed it with an erroneous apostrophe.

    Perhaps you should open Grammar World.
