It's 100% TRUE! Cuba has just released its own variant of the linux operating system! One problem though: Commies are yet to grasp the idea of effective brand marketing. NOTE: The author of this comic requests that you visit his web site and please refrain from copying this cartoon within this thread. Thank you!

Mistake? It was a brilliant move by Ford to force Chevy to name their car the Nova. :-)

And furthermore, it wasn’t a “mistake”.

Despite the cutesy anecdotes, nobody really cared. It was the Nova, not the No Va.

FYI

The new Anheuser-Busch InBev has a 45% share of the Cuban market.
