I’m looking for one generic brand to disappear, the sooner the better: fortune-tellers.
11. Boy Scouts of America

11. Sears?
If Nook folds, I cannot see B&N sticking around.
WNBA?
What will NBC fill their sports programming with then?
The WNBA? I’m shocked! Who doesn’t want to see giant lesbians? It actually lasted longer than I thought it would..
Losing Olympus is sad...
My first 35mm SLR was an Olympus OM-2n, the camera was tiny compared to most other SLRs, and it had a metering system that was absolutely DEAD-ON. I don’t remember ever taking a bad photo with that camera.
Of course, I haven’t seen a 35mm camera for sale in quite some time, although there are still a few out there.

If Volvo disappears, what will liberals drive?
11. The USA.
Mitusbishi makes very solid vehicles. My Kenyan president (who was raised 3 doors down from Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.) says that they were just about the only cars that could survive the roads in Kenya.
Mine is 18 years old, and nary a squeak or rattle.
Whew... I guess the Lingerie Football League is good for another year!!!!!!!!
Funny was that Barnes n Noble was lauded for their online and trying Nook....and Borders failed because they did not
If B/N fails....look for Amazon to start jacking up book prices....Books A Million is really no competition, and has poor service
These used to be over priced, unreliable hippie cars that were the punch line for conservative jokes (think Prius). No loss.
7. WNBA
I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya. Who would have ever thought that the weak imitation of an unwatchable sport with despicable "heroes" would fold?
9. Mitsubishi Motors
Mitsubishi is further hampered by the public’s perception of its products. In the new J.D. Power vehicle dependability survey, it ranked third from last out of 33 brands.
Not surprised by this one, either.
10. Road & Track
This mag always seemed snooty to me. They always seemed to write about cars that Donald Trump would have to make payments to afford.
I hope Nook can survive. In my opinion, it’s a superior e-reader compared to the Kindle.
That and editors that fellated anything Tuetonic. Their sickening fawning over MB/BMW/Porcshe/POS AUDI was ridiculous and when I finally dropped the rag. No idea what they are like these days, but even Car and Driver sucked last time I picked up an issue. The enthusiast magazine business has fallen far from it's heyday.
Mitsubishi is easy to believe. I've seen them make business decisions that made me wonder if failed, retired Kamikazees were managing them.
I check the same list for 2012. Most of the brands on the list are still around. Just sayin’....
Nonsense.
Volvo Car may go under, but Volvo Semi Truck is still owned by Sweden and is still going strong.
I hope the car doesn't go away we have owned them for years and have always found them to be comfortable, reliable and very safe.
Although we haven't bought one since the company was taken over by the Chinese so all of the above may have changed.
BTW, check this out:
While it has a few minor issues it's still rollin' along...I can honestly say it's the best car I've ever owned...and I've owned 23 different vehicles over the years!!
