10. The GOP

[Slyfox]

Might take a few years but it will end up being the most damaged brand.

Best Buy is a “damaged brand”, in my opinion.

11. Montgomery Ward
12. Webvan
13. American Motors

Groupon absolutely SUCKS. Don’t ever - EVER use them if you are a business owner. Rookie mistake by our new marketing guy. What a flippin’ headache! NOTHING in it for us - everything in it for Groupon...and they SUCK at it!

Again - Groupon SUCKS!

14. Spector Records
15. Philles Records
16. Brunswick Records
17. Cameo-Parkway Records
18. Tamla Records

What about Schlitz?

[Kirkwood]

What did she ever do to you?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Can I ask why?

Pretty good list here. I just complete an analysis at work on BlackBerry. It was an in depth study with a large workgroup. The bottom line recommendation is that BlackBerry is getting cut for Android and iOS devices. All the have to offer is two devices of the same size and the same internals, one with a keyboard, one with a touchscreen. They have no plans for a tablet. They are broke.

Who would imagine that three years ago?

I don’t see how they can put Apple in with some of these. They may no longer be the juggernaut they once were, but they still rule the tablet market. They have made mistakes, but even in the phone market, it’s still Apple vs. all the companies selling Android phones.

I would put Microsoft in the damaged brands well ahead of Apple. Windows 8 is driving people away.

1. GOP
2. NRTL
3. Mitt Romney
4. Karl Rove
5. Reince Prebius
6. John Boehner
7. John McCain
8. Anything Bush
9. Marco Rubio
10. Pat Toomey

Those were some easy ones, off the top of my head.

14. Gemco (lousy stuff)
15. Service Merchndise (wait in 3 lines to get your stuff)
16. Comp USA (horrible return policy)

[tomkat]

Winner !

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Bump.

It’s still early, but at some point we need a decision whether the GOP needs to be dumped.

So far, it seems to this poster they’re heading the wrong direction.

I was in NYC frequently for catalog photoshoots back when she was really hitting it big, and we crossed paths several times. I can say that the televised persona is/was manufactured, because that softspoken, thoughtful person with excellent taste was not in evidence at all. The reality was rather grating, aggressive and needlessly rude. Even New Yorkers thought so, if that tells you anything. That might help anyone who has cognitive dissonance over the public face and the private behavior.

Why? How did she offend you?
