Why does it say UK saw underpants was "26%" when the chart right above says "2.6%"?
I see 26, not 26%.
26 is 2.6% of 1000.

#12I have to admit I'm from the UK and I saw exactly that. Why?!
I'm from Canada and saw the same... but I'm going to go with being primed by the title >_>

Could be basque the title suggested it?
Note: I miss typed "because", and the spelling suggestion was "basque". Given I like an amusing typo, and the given subject, I simply had to leave it as is....

We like to spell it "Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn"

#15I still don't really see the pants, but have in the past been guilty of designing, and using for two months in production, a logo that a focus group decided was "swastika-esque."

#16What is wrong with people thinking the logo looks like underwear? I am willing to bet people are more likely to remember the logo and company. I remember when everyone was making fun of the name "Wii", but I would be surprised if that name, which generated free publicity, did not help Nintendo.
If the logo reminded people of genocide, okay change it. But underwear? Seems like a good thing to me since they might remember it better.

#17The site chooses to use the type of social media buttons that tracks users, puts them in a fixed position, and, on my browser, the buttons obscure part of the text. I don't stick around long enough on sites like this to read any articles.

As they stated, they didn't want Twitter search results for their brand to be littered with underwear jokes.
