One of the brands mentioned is MySpace. I agree. It has not kept up with FaceBook.

“Times like this, I feel like creating a politically incorrect food brand.”

I have one for you. A true story, I swear — back in the early 1960’s my grandmother used to buy canned oysters — the brand emblazoned in large letters on the label said “Nigger Head” and also featured a respectable picture of a middle-aged black male. It disappeared after the civil rights movements started.

yes remember the A&W in Flint Mi late 60s
It was located right next to the county jail
kind of a weird deal on a hot summer night with all the kids cruising thru and inmates literally hanging out the jail windows

Around here (cent Indiana) Sears is a lot like its corporate brother K-Mart.

Sort of a zombie store, doors open, lights on, merchandise on the shelves, but no people.

Our Sears isn’t necessarily packed with shoppers, but it’s a good place with quality products.

I really hate to see it disappear. I thought they were crazy uniting with K-Mart.
