Mad, madder, maddest

Whether it be fast food chains or fashion houses, in these financially uncertain times, staying one step ahead of those offering similar services is essential. And even when it comes to dens of dodginess and debauchery, it’s definitely no different, as just when Mistress Mad thought she’d mastered the art of madness, it seems an even madder mistress has managed to muscle her way into the maddest of mad markets.

  1. Chuckled for a good minute at the photo combined with your caption. Though a lot more direct than that, this would also fall under the, “What were they thinking?” heading: http://adult.engrish.com/1996/09/17/violence-jack-off/ . Apparently the shop no longer exists, regardless, what a name!

  2. There also is a “Bar” and “The Bar” there as well.

  3. … dotted around Manchester we have 3 bars named respectively ‘Odd’, ‘Odder’, and ‘Oddest’. Admittedly they’re all owned by the same person. The obvious difficulty is what happens when ‘Oddest’ (it was just opened a week ago) proves a roaring success and the proprietors want to further expand their empire. It could be the first case of the demands of English grammar (or syntax, or something, anyway you get the point) getting in the way of the march of Capitalism.

  4. This MADDER mean is a Akane(Japanese red flower’s color name),
    so [mad, madder, maddest] is all misunderstanding.
