Alphabet is such a cringe name for a company no less. Especially with the meaning google infers. I bet they giggled like little kids in the board room that day.

  That they're going to make a ton of stupid company names and it's their company-name umbrella dad-joke used for tax and legal purposes? We didn't just all get the memo that that's the joke?

    Or it could be that they are obviously a front for the alphabet agencies

      lmao. I would love to have been a fly on the wall "We need a new company name!" "Alphabet!" "YES EXACTLY!"
