Nothing. It IS daring and original (I noticed it. It worked.) but also a tad
in poor taste. It's not the most pleasant of topics. Whatever your opinions
on abortion (or engines) are, the name conjures up some sick images.
Normally, this isn't anything to worry too much about. People are weird,
move on. But, when this same person begins a discussion on playing really,
sick, sad, twisted individuals, the name adds to your worry about his mental
health.

I work in the mental health field. I know things about that. I'm not just
talking out my ass (see the first part of above message that was snipped.)

And while it might be in poor taste, so are Pokemon cards, so...
