MUSE - MUSE HONOUR AXED

British rockers MUSE have been stripped of a hometown honour in Teignmouth, England after local dignitaries realised what their name stood for. Council chairman David Cox was looking forward to honouring the group with a 'Home Of Muse' billboard at the entrance to the town, but has had second thoughts. A local opponent to the sign alerted him to the fact that MUSE is an acronym for Medicated Urethral Suppository For Erection - and the honour was scrapped. Cox says, "I thought the slogan would create a fresher, younger image for the town, but now I see the Muse slogan might not send the right message."
