George W. Bush: Bushi!In February 2004, a Chinese businessman was inspired to name a new product after President George W. Bush. "Bushi" would serve as a fine name, he explained, for a brand of disposable diapers: "Back in my hometown in Henan Province, the pronunciation of 'Bushi' sounds exactly like 'not wet'."
[According to officials at the State Trademark Bureau, Guo's application for a trademark would likely be rejected "because it may bring about bad social impact if a leader's name is registered."]
[Trivia: Pakistan's Ghauri missile is based on North Korea's "Nodong" rocket.]
