Long time lurker first time poster here!
The first column second row is the old Sprint PCS logo.
What did Playboy do?
I'm wondering if there was less access to logos and information at the time? There might be stuff we don't know as well. Still a strong statement.
why is playboy on there?
not really defending porn but... don't really see it in the same category as the rest
Adbusters were culture jammers. Around this time the playboy logo was popular on clothing.
+1 insightful! ty!
Addidas was on the list? Do they do some back handed stuff I don't know about?
To start, it was founded by a literal Nazi
Holy shit.
Before Rudolf was released, Adi had to appear before the denazification panel. The result was announced on 13 July 1946: Adi was declared a Belasteter, the second most serious category of Nazi offenders, which included profiteers, and could lead to a sentence of up to 10 years in prison for those convicted.[39][40] The immediate threat was that he would be removed from management of the firm.
His early membership in the Nazi Party and the Hitler Youth were not contestable. On appeal, he amassed a portfolio of testimony attesting to his good conduct during the war. Adi's staunchest supporter was Herzogenaurach's mayor, who the Allied forces trusted.[41]

Maybe? A lot of them are pretty evil.
Is that a Compaq logo?
I’d pledge allegiance to The Compaq States of Presario

Wow, that's super interesting. ABC and CBS fell off, but NBC is still there. Rightfully so, but still kind of quirky. I think we need all 50 stars to really show off the evil.
There are 2 I don't know still.
The last two are Meta, and Philip Morris International.
Oh fuck, Meta. What a shitty logo.
ABC is owned by Disney, so it doesn't need to be listed separately. CBS is owned by Paramount, but I don't see that represented.
Microsoft is on there twice but they didn’t use Clippy, missed opportunity.
Is the camel the Silk Road logo? Because the founder of the Silk Road drug marketplace (Ross Ulbricht) got pardoned by Trump probably for a few bitcoins.
I haven’t seen that Adbusters flag in YEARS. I used to have one hanging in my trailer in college!
There is a careless omission of the Tesla logo on that flag
always has been
