This is really quite bad (and doesn't reflect my opinion on Asian food)... but I'm curious as to what in the Yellow Pages engine is making it do this... Apologies if you've seen it already, I think it's been floating around for a while...

Go to www.yellowpages.com.au - in the Business Type field, enter "Oriental Food", and in the Location field

That's... amusing.

The yellow pages directory has (as far as I can tell) I large number of terms which it maps to the 'official' categories. Someone bright spark has just added a mapping from 'oriental food' to 'cat boarding'.
A bit of fiddling shows that "Oriental" by itself shows a list of possibilities including the cat one, but adding food eliminates all the other possibilities.

Looks like someone at Yellow Pages didn't get the payrise they were hoping for.
