Related: GTA games are full of parody companies and brands with childish humour and, yes, there's a sportswear brand in GTA called ProLaps. Their motto is "Strain Hard".

The one that always gets me is the stock market app being called Bawsaq
Is that a pun on Ballsack?
Sorry if it was obvious, English isn't my first language.
Yes, that is basically how one would pronounce "ballsack" with a Scottish accent (Rockstar North, the historical "main" GTA studio, is Scottish). And it is also referencing the IRL Nasdaq
Yep:)
Sounds like this brand name needs a new start.
A NEW START... Hmm...
I got it!
ANUSTART!
For that you might need an analyst. Or a therapist?
the best kind of tart
Heh!
Sounds like a Windows start menu replacement.
"...and she never even saw the license plate."
I see you work for the marketing company prolapse hired! Its like shitty hallmark cards!
Reminds me of the old website for Microsoft Exchange support... expertsexchange.com
Eventually they hyphenated it.
Still works and everything.
From their FAQ:
Q: Can I provide my own wood? A: In most cases we can handle your wood. We do require all shipments to be clean, free of parasites and pass all standard customs inspections.
Ye, but that one is on purpose
Yeah after reading the whole site, I agree. I just remembered it being mentioned in the same context on QI as the site "expertsexchange".
I mean, if I got a sex change, I sure as hell would want it to be done by an expert.
Amateursexchange.com?
Sex change operations as a hobby, now that's something
It's a fun way to spend a weekend, the most important thing is to rememeber that it's just a fun hobby and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
/#susanalbumparty lol
powergen.italia
Domain name was cheap.
Everyone in tech knows you find a domain name first, then decide what kind of business to build around it.
Prolapse tech is blowing up and out the door. The back door.
That prolapse joke was a stretch.
You wouldn't get it .... it's an inside joke
It's supposed to be, anyway.
"It's an inside out joke" was right there
I dunno man. It sounds promising. Sounds like something one should goatse for one’s self.

I typed in the URL figuring it wasn't going to be real, but it is.
I'm thinking that there were people in the chain who recognized the issue, but didn't speak up because they thought it would make them look bad. A grass roots emperor's new clothes kind of thing.
Maybe they're aware and this is how they get their free advertising ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A bit like pen island?

I could believe that. Alternately, someone knew exactly what they were doing and just let it ride to see how far it would get.
I've seen both cases in real life.
GTA grade name.
(There's already a company in GTA called ProLaps, which is sports equipment)
Brought to you by the American National Automation Laboratory Corp?
I goatse what they did there.
They knew.
It's a pretty good marketing strategy, to be honest. I'm telling all my friends about this as I'm writing this post.

Since it's Halloween, there is a music video about anal prolapse. I'm not going to link to it because it literally gave me nightmares, but search for it if you dare.
