Hillstate
Not really IP related, but I wanted to put this somewhere. From a Korea Times article on a new Hyundai Construction brand:
Hyundai said the brand ``Hillstate'' is to evoke feelings of high society and pride and is a combination of the word ``Hill'' representing a high-class residential complex and ``state'' that suggests high status.
Additionally, the name symbolizes the ``H'' of Hyundai emphasizing ``history,'' ``hotness,'' ``human,'' and ``honor,'' which are four main tailored categories appealing to consumers, company officials said.
Silly me, I thought the "H" in Hyundai meant "Hyundai". Barring that, how could the H represent four things at the same time (in addition the name). Thats one busy "H". Finally, "Hotness"? "Human"? Who are they kidding?

They left out "H is for Hubris"...
It's all a bunch of hype. I moved into Hyundai Hometown, and a few months later, they put up new signs and painted the sides "Hillstate." I even had to get a new car decal and front door pass card made. WTF? Wife says they did it to raise the property value. What a bunch of crap!
I always wanted to have a hillstate estate. I mean something up on the hill and high so that I can see the world below.
