People who start a company and lack the creativity and/or have such a large ego that they need to have their names on their products:

Tommy Hilflinger, Gary Fisher, Calvin Klein, and yes, even Chris King.

:mumble:

Yeah, guys like Enzo Ferrari, Ferdinand Porsche, Harley-Davidson, Henry Ford, Mickey Thompson..... are IDIOTS for using their name. How dare they take enough pride in their products to forever associate themselves with their creations.

If they were smart they would have staked their success on the ideas of some cube jockey in the creative department. Those guys know everything.

Is this all you have to worry about?

That would be almost as lame as having your RM username named after a Kona bike, right?

It's fugging ego ya morons. I saw TOMMY interviewed, and he was almost masterbating walking down the street looking at his name on people's clothes. It has nothing to do with having balls, but most of you wouldn't understand...

I'm talking bikes, not fashion dillweed. You original link was to a frame builder, wasn't it? Speaking of balls, where are yours? You were the one watching a TOMMY interview, not me! :nuts:

Read carefully: People who start a company and lack the creativity and/or have such a large ego that they need to have their names on their products.

I don't care what biz they're in...

And I'm wearing Abercrombie shorts. I don't agree with the self named company, but where did I call for a boycott dingus? Just a smashing.

I didn't think it was possible for your original rant to look any weaker, but you just proved me wrong

So, instead of answering a question, it's jr. high witticisms?

You really need the question answered for you? Wow.

OK, here goes: Nowhere did you use the word "boycott" in your post, but most people with half a brain would interpret your wish for the people you mention to be "smashed" to include not supporting their ego pumping by wearing and being a walking advertisement for their products.

Wow, why do you have that bookmarked?

Wow, why do you have that bookmarked?

There is this lovely invention called a search engine. Several companies have invested a lot of money in them... they work by entering words of what you are looking for and they list the results.

For example - using one called "google" , i put in a phrase: "Ding Fries are Done" and it showed me several differen websites that were hosting it.

Welcome to the wondeful world of the internet...

the way I look at it... unless I am 100% sure about the quality of the item I would not put my name on it. So I dont think its a bad thing

BTW, did you know the original Abercrombie and Fitch, a NY sporting goods store, no longer exists? It is now a brand under The Limited.

The whole logic of Ego and Self-Named businesses is an odd opinion for a cyclist. From Campagnolo to Marzocchi, there are a thousand cycling companies named after an individual.

Unless you are f*cking with us...

Interesting, I like to think that if sold something, I would be sure about the quality.
