"Named #1 for Both Rivers and Oceans"

I like to think that I've had enough education to be able to correct poor grammar in English. That's why I laugh myself silly when I hear a commercial on television that has pretty questionable language.
Viking Cruises has a line in their ad in which they claim to be named number one for both rivers and oceans. When I heard that, my first response was, "I think there are more than two of them." Sadly, many people didn't quite understand that.
Another one is a bladder control product for women. The name is Poise. "Poise under pressure and Poise in her pants." Poise in her pants? It's sounds like poison her pants.
A writer editor friend sent me a book about pandas that was entitled Eats Shoots and Leaves. It was to prove a point about the importance of commas and their placement.
I'm easily amused.
