I’ve been noticing the slogan “May the best car win” in GM advertising and they are putting the superscript TM after it so they trademarked this nonsense? May the best toaster win, may the best product win, etc. could be everywhere – the thing is, having the nerve to trademark that reassures me that General Motors doesn’t have the best cars… It doesn’t inspire my confidence – it makes me more inclined to sense that we should have let the company fail from it’s own mismanagement. I still think the solution was to let the banks bailout the automakers if there was going to be a bailout. Isn’t that why we gave them capital? And we could have let them manage this long-term process of getting another large ailing firm back on track. Remember when the automotive CEOs went around begging in their jets? The executives should have given back their bonuses for the last few years (and given up salary as was asked by a few government officials) in order to receive a bailout.
So, may the best car win – it won’t be one of yours!
