What company do YOU wish bankruptness on.
 
Microsoft may not be said, it's too obvious.

For me, it's either Cox or Bellsouth.



Cox because their internet is screwy, Bellsouth mainly because their new commercial says that it's EASY to get Bellsouth High Speed Internet.


I'm not joking. It's not even funny.

Wal*Mart.

While technically not a company, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

3DO, for continuing to make those shitty Army Men games.

I second Wal*Mart

and I'll add Nike because of their sweatshops overseas. Just do it? More like Just stop it.

To be fair, all major shoe companies have overseas sweatshops. Thus, they should all become bankrupt. Yay no shoes!

Bah! What's up with all of you people and your anti-corporation, pinko, liberal-agendic* hubbub?! You people are clearly ignoring the wonders of capitalism in our society. Without Wal*Mart, hundreds of the homeless drunkards who work there wouldn't have jobs (you know they have some working there...)! These large corporations streamline our society into an effective, well oiled machine that works on their very whim... how is that a bad thing?!

Adam Smith would be spinning in his grave.

And they don't just make our society function better... look at all the shoe-manufacturing buildings all across the third world! Without those well-paying jobs (well-paying for their economy, anyway), those people would practically starve!... or farm... but who the hell wants to do that?!

I'll tell you who wants to do that... people who live in the third world!

Clearly, these corporations, using thier epithetic "sweatshops" - a title that you heartlessly branded those nice, air-conditioned factories, are promoting proper civilization and conduct within countries all over the globe!

And sure... Wal*Mart totally blows with respect to peddling out low quality items and low low prices - not to mention questionable hiring practices... But where else are you going to get a machete for $3.00?!** Huh? Answer me that!

However, I really hate all those 24 hour news stations, and I would not mind seeing those places go under.

*I know "agendic" is not a word... but it should be!
**Yes, I did see a $3.00 machete from Wal*Mart.

What about minor shoe companies?

Shoes are overrated anyway.

Walstarmart is a good choice, for good reason.

I vote PepsiCo, and all subsidiaries of PepsiCo... but I have an irrational hatred of them.

Furthermore, I like Microsoft.

I'll second 3D0, because I thought I would be the only one to say that.

I fucking hate Army Men.
