Very Cheeky-Beer acronym a hit on Twitter
Coors Light Iced T is making a hit on Twitter. Not for the drink’s taste, but for its acronym. Put the first letter of each word together and what you’ve got is the vernacular for clitoris. But the beermaker assures it wasn’t a cheeky move on its part to tickle people’s taste-buds. “It wasn’t a mistake and not intentional,” insisted Molson Coors
Canada spokesman Forest Kenney. “We’re seeing the college humour crowd is having fun using it in places like Twitter, but the goal for us was to be as descriptive as possible, to call the product what it was,” Kenney said Monday. “It’s not something you’ll see as part of our marketing. And the tea beer name certainly has made people giggle online when they’ve put “CL” and “IT” together. The Montreal-brewed tea beer launched in the beginning of April and is exclusive to Canada. Molson Coors hopes to have 1 million people sampling the product by the end of the summer. Kenney said there hasn’t been a noticeable spike in sales despite the Twitter buzz.

Why-Zoo Puts Elephant to Work Painting to Raise Money
An elephant in the Prague Zoo is earning her keep — by painting. An art gallery in the Czech capital hosted an unlikely art opening in this month when it unveiled an exhibition of paintings by India-born elephant Shanti, the Czech News Agency reported. In its effort to raise raise funds for an elephant zoo in Sri Lanka, Prague zookeepers put
Shanti to work painting canvases whose sale they hope will buy the Sri Lankan zoo an ultrasound device. This isn't the first time the Prague Zoo has hatched unusual plans for making money off its elephants. Last year, the zoo began selling elephant droppings as souvenirs that could also double as fertilizer for visitors' gardens. Zoo director Miroslav Bobek told reporters at the time that he was inspired to launch the project by his own last name, which means dung.
