LET'S UNBRAND AMERICA

Good thoughts, Frank. Perhaps the political parties could change their names, from Democratic and Republican, to that of their largest corporate sponsors.

George Bush could run on the Halliburton ticket.

And Jimmy Carter selling peanuts and Billy Beer...

Sweet dreams, insects swimming against a tsunami.

Unbranding America sounds to me like drying water.

On our lifetime we will see something like the St. Louis Anhausser Cards, a team in the American Express division of the CGI League, in the 2019 Microsoft Major League Tournament.

I think the new stadium in San Diego is going to be called Petco Park or some such. I can't wait for the headlines when the Team loses:

"Padres Play Like Dogs at Petco"

"Padres Roll Over at Petco"

"Dog Days at Petco"

I could go on...

Scorecards, scorecards ! ! !

Get yer scorecards here ! ! !

Can't tell the players with out a scorecard ! ! !

To hell with the parties, I like this idea for political candidates. They can sell ad space on their suits, like racecars.

Course, you might have a hell of a time telling the two parties apart then.

Looking forward to drug legalization: The Kraft Crack Bowl!

perhaps the great many in the middle need to be annoyed, they just might wake up.

I'm gonna name my first kid Pepsi.
... for a fee, of course, equal to half his upkeep.

One could only hope.

Sad... I'm afraid it will only succeed if there is some profit in it.

Nice try, but they've got to appeal to people's selfish greed
or it just won't have enough energy to keep it going.

Perhaps small communities that ban franchises, commercials and logos would be more effective. If there's enough people to start a town like that, I'd move there next week.





(Even if it was out in the desert. With individuals who truly live their own way. Real community, without a sense of scarcity or greed to push people around. It could never happen, could it?)

Last I heard, the good folk of Whidbey Island, WA had still managed to prevent the installation of any fast-food chain outlet or Kwik-E-Mart type of deal. Hell, just finding gas and beer up there can be a challenge.

Do any of you remember when ballparks had real names? 3-Com Park, my ass!

Lulu Only Lures Really Old Tramps For Pre-Menopausal Play?

Wouldn't they become the American Express Cards in the Anheiser Busch division?

Sounds good to me!

Seems kind of goofy.



I am amused that people actually buy in to propaganda like this, or the propaganda put out by the extreme right. America is a bell curve and this will only serve the far left. It will only offend the far right and will only annoy the great many in the middle.
