JacquelineDempsey posted:When I graduated for my MA, I opened the program and saw that Donald Sutherland was speaking. Holy poo poo, how did I not hear about this? Turns out the head of some frozen food company is also named Donald Sutherland, and was giving the intro speech for the MBA class. Boooo. This reminds me of when this happened, a bunch of local papers ran with the headline ASHELY OLSEN MURDERED IN ITALY.

It was odd because it seemed to be reminding people that, yes local pizzerias exist and are probably just as convenient. But I can’t fault the intent behind the ad. It’s also a direct slam on their founder. It’s the new Russian Premiere telling everyone how horrible the old leader was.

They can tank the stock until Stoppa John cries to please please stop reminding people you’re named after a terrible person. Usually these things work themselves out because very public feuds between founders and their companies work out bad for both sides.
