Thanks. I did not know that.
I’m guessing whoever picks their names is a Grimm Shado fan.
Considering how many decades members of the Jesus Kittens where screaming OMG!! DEMOCRATS = LIBERAL = SOCIALISM = COMMUNISM!!! I don’t think they have any right to complain. If your label sucks, try to make it not suck. Trying to change it just makes us laugh at you.
Crap! I even read that post, just somehow missed the first line…
I stand by my misplaced outrage, though.

And of course www.xe.com, the well-known currency-conversion site, must be absolutely thrilled at this news.
It’s a typical move of too many people: when one’s image tarnishes because of one’s activities, change the image, not the activities. Stupid.
In Hell tonight, they are changing the signs that read “Reserved for Blackwater”.
would a pile of shit smell any less rancid by any other name?
Interesting notion, Mr. Shakespeare, but the wording is, well, rather brusque. Perhaps a re-write, a bit more, oh, …flowery?
I think even Bill Shakespeare would agree Blackwater is no rose.
How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.
One, like the event-horizon of a black hole of loathing, two, more than licorice, three…
Oh, ok, now I have to think about it, because I really, really, REALLY HATE licorice. Nasty, stinking, disgusting stuff.
I suppose that given a choice, Blackwater existing, or licorice existing, I guess I’d choose licorice. At least licorice never hurt anybody. Making me want to barf just smelling it doesn’t count.
Got that settled. Carry on.
I get the feeling Blackwater believe everyone reads Brian Wood’s DMZ. The evil mercs, making profit by interrupting elections and killing people are called Trustwell, and the protagonist’s unselfish nurse girlfriend is called Zee. Coinkidink?
Except for the bare fact of having changed their names at one point, what is the significance of this list? They all did it for different reasons.
