You would have thought with all the things going on, with all money they spend on marketing they could have come up with a brand name that didn’t use PB as their initials. . .
The self own here, is it fair to think it’s accidental, or more (or less) fair that it seems too coincidental?
This is where there’s no helping the GOP or these entities as this is a marketing strategy. You can’t message subtle mistakes or overt misunderstandings.
Be well.
