Bain, hoping to improve image, plans to change corporate name to Nemesis
Or Evil Job-sucking Greedheads, they can't decide. Or Diff'rent Strokes. (Probably your first Conrad Bain reference today.)

6. Strange enough, I already call them that.
|
Clear and to the point. But I call a lot of repug politicians and companies fuckwads, so it might get a little confusing.

3. why not Cthulhu Holdings?
|
That way, folks could say "Cthulhu swallowed my company" or "Cthulhu took my job." At least the victims would be able to say something cool about what happened to them.

10. The Dunn and Bradstreet Horror?

On due consideration, going with "The Rats in the Wallstreet" |

11. Win!
|
The Rats in the Wallstreet is the clear winner. Nominee for runner-up: "The Doom That Came to Willard."
A few other Lovecraft titles are perfect Bain monikers as is, without modification: Ashes The Crawling Chaos The Lurking Fear The Thing on the Doorstep The Tomb The Trap The Winged Death And, by the way, doesn't Romney seem like he could have been revivified (partly) by Herbert West, Reanimator? |

17. The comparison to Herbert West is spot on. He kept trying and trying and trying,

never lost confidence in his monsters.

15. Probably not. I was just looking for a synonym for the homonym.

Of course, if I were any good, I'd be looking for a homonym for the synonym for the homonym. Ah well.

14. How about in honor of the forth coming "The Dark Knight Rises"...

Just change the spelling to BANE. You already know they're a villainous and psychotic entity...
