TVBS
One of the biggest most popular TV stations here is called "TVBS". Hahahahahaha. I love it when they try to use English, and actually, it's OK, or grammatically correct, but has a funny or bad connotation in English. Reciprically, I found out that "LP" (sounds innocent enough right?) has a bad connotation in Chinese, so it works both ways.

Still very hard for me to see what the TVBS channel is so funny for you. Probably there is something interesting but I just don't know.
What does LP stand for in Chinese . . . I use it in my listening class here in Taiwan to mean "Listening Points."
I have done so for several years--not one student has clued me in.
