    You know what always amused me? Oklahoma's 1970s license plates that proudly proclaimed "OKLAHOMA IS OK"

    "Yeah, it's not the greatest state ever or anything, but it's not bad. At least it's not Arizona!"

    Oklahoma is actually a nice quiet little state -- the way they handle their prison system, though, is infamous

    Man, the AVGN is an untouched gold mine of reaction images.

    I love AVGN's work. Just got done watching today's Monster Madness entry, btw
  • I really do need to watch those.

    Have you seen the Cinemassacre X00s yet?

    X00s? Nope, can't say I have

    ....nope, can't say I have
  • They're both really good. I nearly cried because of 300.

    In 1995 my family had a van broken into in Oklahoma

    Ever since then, that state has been NOT OK for us. Because clearly that could never happen in any other state

    Well, if nothing else it's an improvement over their cousins' new name.

    Yes, I still don't have a high opinion of "Mondelez" as a brand. It's got a nice look to it but still, that name...

    That was my first thought too, but...if you insist on having a "friendlier" corporate logo, this is the way to do it, not that flower-monster they had before.

    I am glad they capitalized "Kraft" this time around.

    WHY IS THAT SUCH A HARD CONCEPT

    you know what I don't really get now?

    In the USA, who makes Philly cream cheese now -- Kraft or Mondelez? Or Cadbury chocolate?
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Mondolez sounds too close to Monsanto
  • The sadness will last forever.
    monsanto


    oh noes D:
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ^^^Mondelez. They took the "snack" brands with them, though strangely I think Kraft kept Jell-O, which I see as a natural fit for Mondelez.
  • The sadness will last forever.
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Didn't Philip-Morris change their name to something else, from the same place where they dug up "Mondelez"?

    Then I just noticed recently that a bunch of gas stations around town here have rebranded themselves to "Alon" or something

    Are these corporations just having names spit out by some kind of Lorem Ipsum generator and going with whatever they think has absolutely no connection with anything (so nobody can possibly sue or be offended or whatever the fuck I dunno)
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Okay here's a corporation name I made up by salvaging letters from my name: Enforth

    what do we do? we import everything from rat poison to mason jars from China

    now all it needs is a ridiculous, noncommittal slogan

    Philip Morris became Altria Group in January 2003; incidentally, they owned Kraft from 1988 until 2007.

    ^"Enriching your day"?
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Yeah, "Altria."  Where did they come up with that name


  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It's derived from "altus", the Latin word for "reaching even higher".

    Translation: They didn't want to be called "Philip Morris" anymore because of bad associations with the name so they just took whatever bullshit popped into their heads

    Yeah, something like that.  Telling the customer that our whole mission in life is to make their life better and totally not line our pockets in the meantime

    This is why I could never, ever be a business major by the way
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You know what amuses me?

    Philip Morris snapped up Nabisco right after they split off R.J. Reynolds into its own company (they didn't want to deal with the consequences of selling poison to the masses).

    Also, is the phenomenon of large corporations trying to come off as warm and fuzzy a product of the last decade? I'm thinking of Procter & Gamble's "Proud sponsor of Moms" slogan...
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    The two biggest things that I remember everyone getting bothered over was Philip Morris selling stuff like baby food and the sport of stock car racing was under a trophy branded by a cigarette (during this time there was even a shitty NASCAR saturday morning cartoon.) 

    So it kind of makes sense why they're gravitating towards nonsensical names that can't be tied to anything. 
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You know what bothers me? The fact that their logo is a mosaic of nothing.

    I wonder if I can find some stupid PR-speak about it...maybe it's on Speak Up.

    I really prefer the old way they handled logos and especially simple colors.

    The occasional olde-tymey fonts too. Bold primary colors, three at the most, no airbrushing or gradients or any of that other shit they do nowadays.

    Well, Armin didn't like the Altria logo.

    I expected that of him, the logo doesn't really mean anything.

    Also you didn't say anything about the Speak Up article.

    I didn't really have anything to add. I felt like Armin pretty much hit the nail on the head.
