My friends were discussing this the other day. Here are a few names that we tossed up: Haliburton, Exxon, Abercrombie & Fitch, Starbucks, KFC, Microsoft...


What do you think is America's most Evil company?

Clear Channel. Media consolidation is one of the biggest non-violent threats that we face today.

Walmart goes up there as one of the worst.

Gamestop.

Virtucon Industries.

I think my opinion on this might change from month to month, but for right now my vote is Haliburton.

Halliburton.

M$, Not at the top of my lists but they deffinitely rank in the top 20

What's M Dollar Sign?

Microsoft

Most evil? LOL, no, this isn't a slanted topic.

Popular consensus without anyone having to go through the replies is Halliburton.

Who do I think is the most evil? Sun Microsystems and Netscape. Since they can't compete with Microsoft head to head they call in the government under specious monopoly rules and try to break up America's most successful worldwide company.

They're like the little kid that can't make the baseball team and has his mom call and bitch out the coach until he does.

They used to be in volitile chemicals, but changed over to communications. Also, they have a steel mill in Cleveland, do shipping in Texas, oil refineries in Seattle, a factory in Chicago that makes miniature models of factories, and they own the Franklin mint, which makes decorative hand-painted theme plates for collectors.

Vitrucon...

DR. EVIL
For thirty years, Number Two has run
Virtucon, the legitimate face of my
evil empire.

He hits a button. The conference table slowly rotates to
reveal a large, illuminated map of the United States dotted
by various miniature models.

NUMBER TWO
Over the last thirty years, Virtucon
has grown by leaps and bounds. About
fifteen years ago, we changed from
volatile chemicals to the
communication industry. We own cable
companies in thirty-eight states.

The thirty-eight states illuminate on the map.

NUMBER TWO
In addition to our cable holdings,
we own a steel mill in Cleveland.

A steel mill miniature illuminates in Cleveland.

NUMBER TWO
Shipping in Texas.

A ship off the coast of Texas illuminates.

NUMBER TWO
Oil refineries in Seattle.

An oil refinery illuminates in Seattle.

NUMBER TWO
And a factory in Chicago that makes
miniature models of factories.

The miniature model factory lights up in Chicago.

NUMBER TWO
We also own the Franklin mint, which
makes decorative hand-painted theme
plates for collectors.
(holds up plate)
Some plates, like the Gone With The
Wind series, have gone up in value
as much as two-hundred and forty
percent, but, as with any investment,
there is some risk involved.

I mean, am I wrong? Virtucon is run by a guy named Evil. What more do you want?

My vote would be for myself



Well, that's odd.... I've just robbed a man of his livelihood, and yet I feel strangely empty. Tell you what, Smithers, - have him beaten to a pulp."

"I could crush him like an ant. But it would be too easy. No, revenge is a dish best served cold. I'll bide my time until.... Oh, what the hell. I'll just crush him like an ant."

"I should be able to run over as many kids as I want."

"Ha-ha! Smithers, this reminds me of that fat man I used to ride to work!"


"What good is money if it can't inspire terror in your fellow man?"

This was adopted a little while back as an acceptable abbreviation of Microsoft.

I'd say Enron. Halliburton and Walmart are also up there. But how can KFC be considered evil? All they do is offer me delicious fried chicken at an affordable price. And if you spout any of that urban legend animal 13/spider-chicken crap, I will smack you.
