Upcoming West Palm Beach, Florida restaurant Fuku has been denied a trademark by the Florida Department of State Divisions of Corporations. Because, you know, their restaurant name looks like it says "Fuck You." The owners of course say the meaning of the restaurant's name comes from the Japanese word for prosperity or good fortune, and their attorney says the denial was based on a "puritanical viewpoint." Anyway, they get to keep calling the restaurant Fuku, so all in all this is probably just good marketing on their part. Below, a local news team manages to get through an entire segment on Fuku without accidentally saying the word "fuck."
