INDUSTRY LEADERS were today absorbing the eNova International shock announcement that from 2007 they will be phasing out the catchy "oo" naming concept. One industry insider came outside to give us the inside info, "I just can't believe it", said Simon Whistle-Cartwright, "We've just got used to the -oo names and we had been looking forward to some real belters in the near future. Now they're just going to drop them, just like that".
Hands Pampas, eNova chief designberger, was unavailable for comment yesterday, however, we did manage to track down one man unafraid to comment, eNova test pilot Bendi Toner. He was quoted as saying, "Who gives a shit what they call them, just as long as they keep giving them to me for free".
Share prices in online gambling companies have soared since the announcement. "Clearly we're chuffed", said Stokem Johansson, senior analyst with betyoursalary.com. Pie-in-the-Sky has discovered that over 15M euros of betting had taken place based on false rumours that the 2006 eNova DHV-1 would be called the "NoPoo". It is also believed that 10M euros is riding on "GumBoo" or "HoldYoo" as the new tandem and 5M riding on the new upcoming PPG wing, current favourites being "ScramBoo" and "CantHearYoo".
eNova competitors seemed in upbeat mood as they arrived home after the Annual "Loop-a-de-loop" French fancy dress party held in Hilly du Troosers. Bruce Goldchain, Hairwave Stylist, was quoted as saying "eNova who? Got any paracetemol?"
