i think this bracket thing has to do with basketball, no? im not familiar with that system - but if it's comcast v. menu foods tomorrow then i'm guessing it means the two companies at each of the outer boxes will battle to see who eventually makes it into the box? ugh. can someone please explain? i'm just really concerned that Exxon is going to beat out my top choice: Crocs.
that wouldn't be a good contest, nobody would be voting for either of them, they both suck@RAREBREED:
@stpauliegirl: Thanks for the reminder about what Menu Foods had done. Screwing up your cable installation is one thing, but killing your cat is an entirely different plane of evil.
@rdldr1, @vladthepaler: Please see the post calling for nominees for the new rules this year regarding eligibility.
New rule this year: we will only accept nominations for companies that makes or sells products or services that consumers actually buy.
They are not eligible.
Man, some of these are going to be blood baths: MTV vs TransUnion? BCBS vs CNN? The TV channels don't stand a chance.
@BuddyGuyMontag: Not to mention they're up against puppy killers right off the bat.
They might win but it's hardly a lock. There are a few companies whose actions or lack of action led to illness or death and then there are companies, like Countrywide, whose actions affected everybody not just their customers.
@BuddyGuyMontag: Sallie Mae from the Best Buy bracket?
@stpauliegirl: @Corydon: Yes, thank you, I had forgotten who Menu Foods was. Changed my vote! Kind of similar to the AT&T/Mattel bout coming later.
I'm most interested in these two match-ups above, and especially Chase v United Health Care. That one is sure to be gruesome.
The whole upper right bracket is tough! Who ever makes the final 4 from that one is truly the great Satan.
@Corydon: Agreed. Many pets died because Menu Foods wanted to save a few bucks importing from China.
@Scalvo2:
WTF is this BS? Fox News was 8% or so and you put up some companies that had 1%
The voting didn't even matter did it?!
@Scalvo2: They probably just let the nomination for NewsCorp absorb Fox News since it owns Fox News. There was a lot of complaining in the thread about that.
@ConsumerAdvocacy1010: Yes. Verizon v Allstate, upper left bracket (2 v 15 slot). HP v Sprint, lower right (4 v 13 slot).
@BuddyGuyMontag: I have to agree with you about Countrywide. Everyone shouldn't forget the stories of having consumers thinking they're signing for a fixed rate loan only to give them an ARM because agents put additional loan papers underneath and shredded the top set.
I think that the Face Book American Arbitration Assoc. smackdown looks interesting. As well as Video Professor vs. Capitol One.
@Corydon: Listen, Little Mary Sunshine, this isn't Disney*--quit yapping and fill out your brackets.
I was rooting for American Airlines, but killing America's pets? More evil.
*Why no Disney??
@ConsumerAdvocacy1010: I don't see it either. It got more of the vote than MTV though so I'm also confused about that one.















Is there a reason why Halliburton isnt on the list this year, even after observing many requests for its inclusion?
