Heartwarming

From AFP:

A
Beijing businessman has filed an application to trademark the Chinese
name of US President George W. Bush to help market his disposable
nappies.
The applicant, surnamed Guo, filed an application with the General
Administration for Industry and Commerce of China, stating he wants to
use the two-character phrase "Bushi" as a trademark, the Beijing News
reported. "I hit upon the idea by chance," said Guo. "Back in my
hometown in Henan province, the pronunciation of 'Bushi' sounds exactly
like 'not wet'."
