In Broker, there is a storage warehouse on the eastern side of Iroquois Avenue (near Roman's Taxi Depot) in Hove Beach appearing to be an old distribution warehouse with a sign for Cherenkov Vodka on top of it. The second "E" and the "N" are missing, making the sign read "Cher Kov", which is meant to be pronounced like "jerk off", a slang term for masturbation. The warehouse is used to host Weazel's Channel 15 in 2009.
