I'd just like to point out that pinto only refers to the male anatomy in Brazil. Here in Portugal - and probably in other Portuguese speaking countries -, a "pinto" is just a young chicken.
Still a bad name for a car though. Also, I think the Pinto never made it to Brazil.
The thing is, it's probably one of those "only funny once" things, so I doubt that the next company trying it would be so successful. (That, and the original company, man, if they were planning it? they were /subtle/ - and that made it way better. It's totally believable as an accident. that'd be a difficult thing to follow up on.)

Google handling of Orkut just suck. Personally the features on Orkut are much more interesting than the ones in Facebook, but Google never fixed issues that existed since the platform inception ( for example there are no edit button to fix your forum posts )
I never understood why Google didn't pay any attention to Orkut. It could be much better than facebook.

Orkut was something like 5 years old before G+ was built. It has such a different social/sharing/privacy model, so it would be hard to convert, and it is only a major player in one country.
Ok, so "hard to convert" is a good enough reason to just ignore 40 million very active users.

I enjoyed watching the video since if I had read your comment, it would have spoiled the entire reason why this post is pretty hilarious..... Finding out the context of a "joke" before the joke being told is kind of a spoiler. Anyway, watch the video if you can, it's worth the minute.
I do get that, but lots of people either don't want to watch a video or can't, for various reasons. I hope this wasn't a problem for too many people, because (tongue in cheek here) I'm positive everyone reads the articles first before coming to read the comments.
Also, check out http://www.habbo.com/, which means the same thing (ass crack).
Since the article text itself doesn't mention exactly why the name is so bad - Rego, the name of the product, is slang for ass crack in Portuguese. I can sort of understand why you wouldn't want to put that in the post itself, but it's also a little annoying to have to watch a video to find out why it went viral.
If you haven't seen the video (Rego == Buttcrack):
Your Rego is private. Nobody can see what you put in your
Rego. But we know that sometimes you wanna share your Rego
with a friend, and we make that easy!

EDIT: I've just learned that "Siri" sounds like a word, 尻, that means "ass" in Japanese. [1]. So I suppose this is the funniest name since Siri.
