Apple, Google World's Top Brands
Anil Kandangath writes "BrandChannel readers have picked the top global brands for 2004. Apple is the leader, closely followed by Google. Arab-centric Al-Jazeera ranks fifth in global as well as Europe/Africa ratings. In regionwise ratings, Google tops North America, Ikea tops Europe/Africa, Sony tops Asia-pacific while Mexican cement brand Cemex tops Latin America An interesting fact is that Steve Jobs headed Apple is the top North American brand while his other venture Pixar comes fifth in the same zeitgeist."
In the "red states" NASCAR has way more brand recognition than Apple or Google. So I guess this survey meant brand recognition for California and New York only.
My BBQ isn't biased.
I'll cook all meats eaten by Muhammed (pbuh) in the hadith. I won't cook pork, because it is well known to be an unclean meat. I won't serve Jews, homosexuals or menstuating women because my mullah has told me not to - he gave my a quote from the Qu'ran about the homosexuals and the women and said he'd get back to me on one about Jews.
Nor will I serve Coca Cola, as it is known to support the American/Jew^WZionist world conspiracy, as documented in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Instead I serve Jihad Cola, made by Hezbollah in Syria, the proceeds of which go to the liberation of Palestine!

And the fact that you've "proved" 1% of the world's population live in Switzerland and it hasn't even occured to you how unbelievably wrong that must be..
That's so endearing, in a way only that combination of smugness and stupidity can be.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
