Who: Does It Offend You, Yeah?
From: Reading, England
Why We Love Them: Does It Offend You, Yeah? never intended to be an actual band. Nor was their name chosen on purpose. "We just did the tracks and decided to setup this MySpace account so we could just send a link and then people could have a listen," singer James Rushent told Spinner when they stopped by the Interface. "Then we switched on the TV and Ricky Gervais was on there and he said, 'Does it offend you, yeah?' If we'd known that we were going to end up doing this, we probably would have picked a better name."
And their Wiki says:

The band revealed the origins of their name as being from British sitcom The Office.
Everybody thinks the name is some kind of statement but it's a quote from David Brent in an episode of The Office. "When me and James Rushent first started writing music together we decided to put it up on MySpace. We needed a name to put as our profile name so just put what was the first thing that was said on TV, we switched it on and Ricky Gervais said "Does it offend you, yeah? My drinking?" so we just went with that. No thought went into it whatsoever.[8]
