useful maybe, funny yes. i agree that there may not be a whole 3rd segment, but the channels for distribution are really important to consider and if the content is going to go viral, its because of the distributors.

maybe the best PG ever? So short and sweet. Follow these simple rules and you can succeed, don't and your startup will die. The customer service one was a surprise for some reason, not that it does not make complete sense but not something

def agree, I prefer Target because they seem to have better designed products and a sense of style. However, I'm fully aware that both companies operate a ruthlessly efficient business focused on maximum volume to drive down costs, and ben
