    The only mildly interesting aspect of RadioShack amputating its first 3 syllables is the inevitable lawsuit it will face from that dickhead who's had a book called "The Shack" on the best-seller lists for almost two years. The book is the usual it-changed-my-life, I've-given-copies-to-everyone-I-know..., pseudopsycho bullshit Americans suck up like the brainless sponges they are (with the exception of Gawker commentors obviously).

    Back before I moved, I'd call Radio Shack "Al's" because he was the local franchisee.

    The Shack sounds like a 70s record store chain.

    So, Wireless Wormhole was already taken?
    The Motherboard? (Mum's!)
    It is unfortunate, but Radio Shack will serve as a business school model/paradigm of how not to adapt to a changing marketplace. Pity really, as RS had the resources to do well if they had had any foresight oh, 15 years ago.

    In Michigan, that's how you pronounce "shock." Which is why I left.

    And, not to get off-track here, but Flynt Publications just bought Whole Foods Market. Inevitably, the new stores will be called Whore Foods...

    Cox Communications is nixing their proposed foray into the condiment industry. Seems like Cox-Smuckers wouldn't sell very well. At least outside of West Hollywood.

    Looks like that planner merger between Mother Jones magazine and Fuddrucker's is off.

    What's the big deal? Nigeria is overwhelmingly black -- it's okay if they say it!


    (Also, Ice Cube is totally hot, family movies notwithstanding. Yeah, I said it.)

    There's the little-known Djibouti and Argentinian adult tourism conglomerate: Buenos-Bouti Ventures, and Djibouti's more prominent partnership with Burmese latex manufactures in Mandalay: Bouti-Lay Industries.
