So, there's this new online thing called the "knowledge generation bureau" Okay, I can deal with the name, but then they abbreviated it to "KGB". Does this strike anyone else as possibly a poor name for a new business? Did no one notice this?

and no matter who owns the arena, it will always be called the FU center since they owned it first.

I don't think this Knowledge Generation Bureau thing is the real business. It's some sort of pre-Superbowl viral marketing campaign by some big company trying to be cool. Probably IBM or something. My guess is there'll be a big SUperbowl ad that ties it all together and we find out that <company X> has all the same answers yadda yadda yadda.

I wish I could be inoculated from viral campaigns.
