Think about it like this. A class is a box with something inside. The __unicode__ method is putting a label on the box to describe what is inside the box. The label doesn't have to be there and if its there, it can have anything written on it (which should make sense to the person writing it). The purpose of the label is to let anybody know what is inside the box.
