Crappy Tire

Winning one for disgruntled anti-freeze, innertube and mop buyers everywhere, Mick McFadden has kept the rights to www.crappytire.com.

My favourite part:

“The term Crappy Tire is a slang expression derived from the Canadian Tire trade marks [and is] frequently used by younger Canadian Tire customers,” the company said. “In the vast majority of cases, the usage does not have a negative connotation but is an impertinent reference to a mass merchandiser.”

Uh huh. And when my friend Ryan used to refer to that singer from the Police as ‘Stink,’ it was really a term of endearment.
