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".

- The one that always gets me is the stock market app being called Bawsaq

Sounds like this brand name needs a new start.

A NEW START... Hmm...

I got it!

ANUSTART!

- "...and she never even saw the license plate."

- I see you work for the marketing company prolapse hired! Its like shitty hallmark cards!

- Sounds like a Windows start menu replacement.

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

Eventually they hyphenated it.

  From their FAQ:
  
  Q: Can I provide my own wood? A: In most cases we can handle your wood. We do require all shipments to be clean, free of parasites and pass all standard customs inspections.

Domain name was cheap.

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

- Prolapse tech is blowing up and out the door. The back door.

  That prolapse joke was a stretch.

Wow... didn't even read the title, saw the logo and my brain responded Rectum‽

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)_/¯

  A bit like pen island?

  Could be.

- 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)

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

- What a wonderful day to have a mind

  Got a triad going with GIMP!

Brought to you by the American National Automation Laboratory Corp?

Stab-lapse. For stabilisation, not for stabbing.

13
- Stabilapse?

- Or when you've not kept your stabbing credentials up to date?
  
  6
- That sounds like a timelapse of someone being stabbed.

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

- I'll remebef the name of this for sure

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.

10
- Please just tell me the search term
  
  So I can block it

  Why miss out on culture? Goatse, meat spin, lemon party, tub girl, 2 girls 1 cup, that one Japanese one with the guy laying on his back and the seat beer bong hooked up to a mask? Like what do you even talk about on first dates?

What's wrong with this?

- Use "prolapse" as a search term on a porn site

  Or WebMD maybe

  Oh it's a term linked to that industry...
  
  But I suppose average people will not know of that meaning, so it's a perfectly fine brand name (I also still don't know what it means but know enough to know that I don't want to know it)
