Is NewAss a trademark?
Jan 9, 2013
I see everything has been translated or copywritten in Spanish but NewAss sounds better in English. lol
Depending on agreement, sometimes they are translating/adapting trademark names as well.

Not funny
Jan 9, 2013
All jolly titi-hilarious, isn't it? Let's all have a good giggle. Unless YOU have hemorrhoids, when it suddenly isn't very funny.
Grow up.

Grow up.
If a manufacturer chooses to pick such a name for their product, we should not blame the amused reader who finds this result hilarious. A tongue-in-cheek approach such as the product name "Beano" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beano_(dietary_supplement) ) has proven to be successful on their market - "NewAss" however is plain vulgar.
The joke is on the manufacturer. Not on the people who suffer from this ailment.

The product sounds like a joke
Jan 11, 2013
Nicole is right.
The product sounds like a joke itself or like a very bad translation using Google Translate. I haven't checked the producer, but to me it seems like a non-anglophone producer who can't even conceive what kind of connotations and tone this can have in English. It makes you laugh as soon as you lay eyes on that name.
Not sure why all this would be audience's responsibility, rather than the producer's.
