A Grapefruite By Any Other Name

In Viet Nam, it's possible to get a penis confused with a grapefruit.

A promotional website, set up to advertise grapefruit has fallen foul of the government in Vietnam over fears the sites name could be mistaken for the word penis.

The Vietnamese for grapefruit, buoi, sounds different from a slang word for penis, but without special accents it looks the same and local regulations say website names cannot include sensitive words.
