Captain Obvious had his way with the last paragraph of the story: "...the spokesperson admitted that "AnalTech faces certain challenges because of the 'juvenile' humor that has developed in the past few decades and current web filters that may block the company name" and has considered rebranding as a result."

And a link in that same article....

Cremation of 'overly obese' body causes fiery accident at Cincinnati facility

And I LOVED the last paragraph of that story: "As you may realize, when a morbidly obese person is cremated, there's a danger of what can only be called (in layman's terms) a 'grease fire,'" expert Caleb Wilde, who writes the blog "Confessions of a Funeral Director," told the station."
"A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other invention with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila."

Juvenile humor has been around a lot longer than the past few decades.

That's obviously the back door of the business. The driver's accuracy leaves something to be desired...
