>>As I said before, what the hell does Asia have to do with KKRO!<< KKRO is considering franchising abroad. Since Asia will probably be one of the destinations, I believe there is a dispute going on with the pronounciation of the name. Here in America we call it KooKooRoo, in China they wish to call it Roo Roo Woo because they have trouble with pronouncing the letter 'K'. Now since Ken also wants to include his widely succesfull 'Color me mine' off shoot, this is really going to raise a problem. The Chinese want to call it, 'Coror re rine' and Ken won't have a bar of that, apparently he feels that if they can't say it right, then the name should be changed all together. I heard that some considerations for the Chinese KooKooRoo name change are; Pet Mart Feline Fowl Pussin' Boots Egg Drop Inn Schezwan Meow Alley Rabbit The Color me mine name change proposals are; Pottery Farm Fottery Barn Cray Pot Prace Make Pot Prace Praint You Pot This is in fact why the asian market has affected KKRO here in the USA. :-)
