I couldn't help smiling when I walked by this Danish 'Rent-a-wreck' car the other day. Some people are just so creative!
For the Danes the point should be quite obvious, but for the non-Danes it is probably worth adding that the word 'lig' means a 'dead person' in Danish, but it is also slang for a very old and run-down car, i.e. a wreck. So 'Lej et lig' gets the double meaning of 'Rent-a-dead-person' or 'Rent-a-wreck'.
I find those kind of gags entertaining, but I am sure that there are many that find it disrespectful.
