Bankrupt Landscaper Now Regrets Naming Business “Marquis de Sod”

Citing a complete lapse of judgment, a longtime Cincinnati landscaper now regrets having named his new independent venture after a clever rendering of the scandalous libertine, the Marquis de Sade.

“I don’t even know what I was thinking,” a broke and in-debt Steve Owens admits. “The idea came to me while lying in bed, and it just seemed so right.”

But customers didn’t agree. Sources indicate that parents were put in the awkward position of having to explain the company’s name to their young and impressionable children, while others say it was Owens’s propensity to wear 18th Century French outfits and speak with an accent.

Now he has plenty of time to ponder what-ifs and plan his next DBA. “For now I’ll just work for my cousin, his company has a safe name, Mow Town.”
