Kia Provo upsets DUP MP (1 Viewer)

[pete]

Car manufacturer Kia has been asked reconsider changing the name of its new concept car, amid claims it has deeply offensive connotations.
The Korean firm has named the new car ‘Provo’.
Gregory Campbell said the Kia Provo is due to be shown at the Geneva Motor Show this week.
He said the company’s choice of name has offensive connotations because the Provisional IRA were commonly referred to as ‘the Provos’.
Mr Campbell has tabled a motion on the issue in the House of Commons.
The East Derry MP said the IRA’s terrorist campaign was not limited to Northern Ireland, but also to UK and parts of mainland Europe, including Germany, where it is understood the name was chosen at the Kia’s European headquarters in Frankfurt.

They don't own the flag issue so they need to stake a claim on some ridiculous bullshit.

You could make this up actually. There was spoof of Willie Frazer complaining about it first.
