Speaking of idiots, the other day we mentioned this new fad of consumer-products companies spinning off brands because they'd grown too big solely to finance junk television. But with
all the brands being bandied or prepared for spinoff -- Folgers, Maxwell House, Pringles, Duracell, Post, Unilever's U. S. laundry brands, Godiva chocolates -- one (say,
a three-headed dog) could form a new P&G or Unilever which could gouge as much as before, and all to finance junk TV as much as before.
Plus ça change....
