Well, OPE made me think of:

- Opie on The Andy Griffith Show - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053479/

- Spelling it "zOPE" to take advantage of a frequent mishap involving 
the cAPS lOCK key

- Shouting the name of the product repeatedly in code as a method of 
advertising

- Friday afternoon

I thought it was funny. :-)
