I'm reading a recap of House over on TWOP, and there's one of those square banner ads.
It's for "waitless.org".
It's for a Sprint phone company service of some kind.
I read it as stereotypically accented Asian pronounciation of "waitress.org" (I don't know what that would be, but it sounds interesting).
Not sure what that says about me (too much anime? Too many Japanese exchange students staying at my house a few years ago? Too much of my mom gently mocking her ESL students?), but I laughed at myself after the first double take.
