Gouge Watch

As if publicly trash talking the President's basketball game weren't charming enough, Attorney General Holder has further endeared himself to us by putting the brakes on a proposed merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster, i.e. the company I might hate the most.

I don't know about the technicalities of anti-trust, but if those technicalities are supposed to convince me NOT to be worried that the company resulting from this merger would have an 80% market share, then those are some pretty impressive technicalities.

On BrandTags.net, users are presented with a brand name or logo and are then prompted to enter the first phrase or word that comes to mind. The more common an entry, the bigger it appears on the page for each brand. The Ticketmaster page is revealing.

It's interesting to note how big cofee and coffe are under Starbucks.
