Back when I worked at a comparison shopping engine, I had a bit of a laugh when I saw that the indexing pipeline was generating error messages because the "clean" function returned empty for some products in the feed from Amazon, because they had names like "++++++".

It was usually musical albums that liked to have names that made it impossible for fans to find the music.

The band 'Audiobooks' has taken this to the next level

I like the band A. When I try to find their music though...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_(band)

Anyone else remember "The The"?

(Or for a more modern example "!!!")

In another era, “+++ATH” would have been a good name.
