Why did you mark that with a spoiler tag Yi?

I didn't want to bias the survey.

He made a porno with some chicks.  Threeway IIRC.  Why is that creepy?

One of them was 16.  Plus people who make sex tapes* are by definition creepy. 


*and aren't able to keep them private

I would have thought that Microsoft is a bigger and more famous brand then Starbucks.

Starbucks is a preferred brand of Apple users, so they're leveraging both consumer demos.

Yeah like I said, it's about branding. MSFT has like seven times the market cap of SBUX too.

Has anyone ever tried to write "Starbucks" with a dollar sign?  I remember when people kept doing that back in the 1990's and the early 2000's.  I got so fucking tired of it, I wanted to kill someone.  And that's where the story ends.  Nothing happened after that.

Thank for fucking up the page width for all of us.

Dr. Pepper?  Huh.  Would have figured American Airlines or Southwest or Exxon or the slowly dying RadioShack or AT&T or.....something.  Valero even?  They probably still call their gas stations Diamond Shamrock in other places though, I guess.

E:  Weird.  My wife, who is from Michigan, said Dr. Pepper when I asked which company from here she thought of first.  Also said Dell and TI.

Maryland   GEICO   The Government Employees Insurance Company is based out of Chevy Chase.

Granted, most of Maryland's biggest organizations are government, medical or financial, but because it's only a few blocks north of the DC line on Connecticut Avenue, they label the whole state with it?  That's the corporate brand?  What, nobody's ever heard of Black & Decker? Under Armour? Purdue?  Marriott?

Pfft, weak.

I do wonder about the methodology.  Even for WV, granted that there aren't all that many big companies headquartered there, I'd have thought that Gabriel Brothers, Go-Mart, Marquee Cinemas, and Tudor's Biscuit World would all be better know than Gino's (as someone said up-thread, its pizza is pretty crappy, though it used to be better before the mid-80's), and maybe Mister Bee Potato Chips and Blenko Glass, too.

[Admiral Yi]

Never heard of those others, besides the mention of Biscuit World here.

I really wouldn't have expected you to have heard of them--but I'd still think it more likely that you'd have heard of them than Gino's, because Gino's only operates within WV, while the others have some locations in other states (or in the case of Blenko Glass, their stuff is sold in other places).

Well, who hasn't?  Admittedly in my case she didn't know I had a camera.  Or that the window was open.

Even if we've never seen a Gino's, the name sounds so much like the archetypal mom & pop pizza place that we think we've seen them.

[Admiral Yi]

That could be it.  I've probably walked by a dozen Gino's in Staten Island.
