Reply #16: Just gotta say something about Pier 1

[blogslut]

Years ago, Pier 1 Imports was this funky little chain that sold affordable doodads, thingamabobs and knick-knacks. (The one in my home town even had a saltwater/freshwater fish department.) Then, I guess, they decided to go all corporate in order to "expand the brand" and screwed everything up by attempting to paint themselves as some sort of high-end, fancy schmancy, whatever the fuck they turned out to be. It broke my heart when they "re-imagined" themselves and I saw it as yet another, it-wasn't-broke-but-they-decided-to-fix-it-anyway bullshit move.

I think there are some MBA professors that need to be taken out back and shot. They have done nothing but fill their student's heads with unrealistic, unprofitable concepts of what 'success' really means. They know nothing and they have done nothing but ruin lives and fortunes.
