				 |  When incorporating, did you use a bland name? OK, its getting to the point now to incorporate the adult projects I have now and in the works. I was curious if when you all incorporated, did you use some bland generic name like Tom's Cleaners Inc. that hid your true business, or did you say, fuck it, I'll call my company 'Online Blowjobs Inc.'    I can care less what my banker thinks of me, I think they're all a bunch of assholes, but I am still wary of stuff like audits and other circumstances where having an adult named business might come to haunt me later.

				 | I personally incorporated under Pisscockasstitspussyshitfuck INC. More conservative people would probably opt to use something a little more proper. For some reason, people refuse to take my checks. Strange.... Maybe that's a good thing though.  |

				 | Bland name.  Flaunting vulgarity isn't the greatest of ideas.

				 | Audits, contracts, leases, credit lines, trials, hearings, zoning. In every case something like "Dilligent Media" will get you a lot better treatment than BitchFuckers.com Can let you be more like a large corp. and pretend adult/porn is just an aspect of your business and not the kind of sleaze you are  I hope that people realize that the spams that go to grandma... and the popup ads that soccer moms see their 8 year olds getting.... It all help make us a target. It's like the difference between streetwalkers and escorts. Both are breaking the law... but the police get a lot more complaints about the ones that are seen. |

				 | Yeah go try register a company and get a business checking account under the name Big Black Cocks for White Slut Cocksuckers, LLC..... Doesn't work that well. Yes we have a "bland name."

				 | Blowjobs LLC would be truly stupid Carpet Cleaners Inc too Give it a totally neutral name that generates 100000000 results when searched for in google and is somehow related to computer or the internet Computer Systems Internet Services ...something like that |

				 | i've always wondered how easy it would be to just start a company with a name that sound like a person's name. ie "Phil Barton LLC" and your name was andy mcshnifferlabin you could pretty much be phil barton to normal people... checks, credit cards, etc or no?

				 | when I first started in this biz I accidently screwed up when signing up for a sponser. I put the site name in the contact info area so when my first check from them came it said " pay to the order of: Extreme Anal Hardcore"  I contacted them and they changed the info for me and told me I could either wait for another check or try to deposit that one and if it didn't go they would send another. So I put it in the atm. Never heard from the bank about it  |

				 | If you might use the company in the future for another venture, then generic name works best   |

				 | Give it a name that sounds good, but does not identify it with any specific industry. |

				 | Well, you can have a corporate or formal name for the purpose of your  transactions with formal business organizations.  Then you can maintain a funky tradename that you use for your clients.   This is i think legally allowed...an incorporation name different from your tradename or trademark. |

				 | Yeah.  Just file a D/B/A    (Doing Business As...) so they funky name can have nearly as much legal weight as the company's real name. |
