    I think it has run its course. Still one of the most brilliant ad campaigns in recent memory.

    Even breaking down his trademark sentence is great. "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis." They aren't even saying he always drinks beer and he only prefers Dos Equis. I love it.

      Also gave rise to some solid parodies. You know you've made it in advertising when your ad enters the public consciousness to the point that it is so instantly recognizable, it gets used to make fun of - not the brand or the concept - other people.

              Thus do I refute you.

              Fixating on socialism or capitalism is what fails. America was a great place to live from the New Deal through 1979. It's since 1980 that it's turned into a sh-thole. Can't quite place what happened in 1980...

                  So you think the lowest tax rate of 40% is good? Perhaps you should have lived during WWII rationing. Government would have told you what to do. I'm sure you'd LOVE that one.

                      You have got to be kidding me. In China, the executives would be out of a job and their lives for sonething like this.

                        From the article:

                        The U.S. government is aware of the problem and sued the sight’s maker in November for fraud, accusing the company, L-3 Communications, of covering up a variety of issues
                        As somebody who works in the biz, this took my breath away. It's the one thing you absolutely cannot do. Overrun costs? You give back some award fee. Fail to meet requirements? You may lose the contract. But cover up?

                        Believe it or, this is almost never done, because everybody is told in no uncertain terms from Day One, from the president of LocMar all the way down to the schlub in the mailroom, that you can't lie. And again, believe it or not, there actually is a culture of responsibility, honored if nothing else by sheer self-preservation if not pride and a knowledge of the ramifications for lives.

                        L-3 is a huge company, but if the article is accurate I'm shocked there were not far larger consequences, as in big firings and the possibility of criminal charges. Sh-t like that can get you banned from competing for federal contracts for some period, which in the case of a company like them who lives and breathes the FAR, is basically a death sentence.

                        I'm amazed, unless the reporting is flawed.

                                Not sure where else to put this: Alaska Airlines to purchase Virgin America.

                                Don't really understand it beyond trying to keep JetBlue out. Fleet commonality is a huge problem, Alaska runs all 737s vs Virgin running all A320s. Just feel this is gonna tank AS.
