Moron marketers misinterpret mischief, run amuck with meaningless monikers.

A little while back, The Design Conspiracy concocted a website, What Brand Are You, to rip on the recent proliferation of sh*tty and nonsensical company names. They did this by coming up with a pile of sh*tty and nonsensical company names of their own.

Well, according to the BBC, not everyone caught on to the gag, which of course just makes it even funnier.

Liberthuh? Sounds a lot like a brand name for feminine protection products to me...
In which case "one more time" is sadly all too true...

Hmmm. Wait.. Now that I have looked at more of the names, I think these fellars are hitting their own PR-drum with a bit of a fib.

One of their name suggestions - winnovate has been around since 15-jun-2001, long before this spoofy brand name site was created. Same with Bivium (Bivium Group), Informo has been around since 12-jun-2001, and Evolver was bought in April this year.

Just goes to show ya, even the silly names are taken. In fact I didn't find any that weren't except "Retardo"

Hah! I suppose that's why there are so many bizarre names for products out there. All the good ones are taken. :D
