Uses

It is rising to popularity as a shade for consumer electronics, such as [http://vaio.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.action?product=VGN-NR11Z%2FT&site=voe_en_GB_cons&pageType=Overview&category=VN+NR+Series Sony laptops] . Other devices such as the Sanyo Exacti and [http://zune.pgpartner.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=27828647// Microsoft's Zune] digital music player have been produced in similar shades, although they are not defined as wenge explicitly.

Controversy

The crux of this meme is that to the English language the word wenge can seem crude, especially when taken out of context.
