That's like a Dunkin Donuts owner claiming he's an independent. Geez, asshats.

There's a segment of the population that is willing to view marketing as acceptable fantasy. It's a leap of reality, like going to the movies. False marketing creates meaning, excitement, connectivity, etc., to the life experience of some individuals. Witness Bubba Gump products - a double indirection of reality. It's still on supermarket shelves, so someone's buying it - literally and figuratively.

Dave - everyone's a critc....

Jeremy - Irish bar in Stamford - there's an identical one in Las Vegas. When I asked the waitress at the one in Stamford if there is any 'relationship' she got very quiet and whispered to me that they aren't supposed to admit that they are a chain. Yet all the locations are listed on their web site.

Obviously you haven't been watching enough Spinal Tap lately, which clearly states, "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever." What ever gave you another idea?
