The Laziest Company Name

If you have a company and you’re completely lazy and uncreative, here’s what to name your business:

American _______ Company

And make sure to use an American flag as part of your branding. Because when you’re American Recycling Company, nothing is more patriotic than waste disposal!

I wonder if Azerbaijan has a similar problem with lazy companies. Is there an Azerbaijan Broadcasting Company? Or Azerbaijan Skiing Company? Or Azerbaijan Cyanamid Company?

What’s even worse than lazy company names are names that are completely made up and make no sense whatsoever – like Accenture – who the hell came up with that one?

American Accenture Company would be better still.

What is this then?
