We got lots of spam at MetaFilter and one time someone posted trying to promote something called "Exemplary Purchase" and we kept wondering what are they were trying to say until we realized it was a translation error, they meant to say "Best Buy" in English.
Ten years on, every time I drive past a BestBuy, I think "Exemplary Purchase!"
