I bet within a year we see a porno named "Flesh and Easy" about a young aspiring actress who ends up as a horny checkout clerk with a handsome night manager and ... well .... :eek:

How strange - what's wrong with Tesco? Why do they have to change the name of everything just for the USA?
Its like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone all over again.

"Tesco" is probably too close to "Costco". Marketing people wouldn't want the imbecilic consumers getting the names mixed up.;)

What happened with the Harry Potter book, was it called something else in England?

The book is actually called 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. Before it's release in the US, the publishing company did some market research and discovered that most Americans don't know what a philosopher is. Thus the name was changed.

D'oh!!
