# NEW IMAGE CHALLENGE: UNLIKELY COMPANY MERGERS


In the week that nasty Kraft took over nice Cadbury, this week's challenge is to picture unlikely company mergers, and the products that might result.

# because they are evil dastardly americans who bought "our" company
our poor innocent company that demanded it be bought for more money

so they turned up with more money

THOSE HEARTLESS BASTARDOES!

O_o?

# buying cadbury
1000's of jobs in the UK lost
The raping and pillaging of Birmingham
cheese in our chocolate.

This is what the Daily Mail and b3ta have led me to believe.

# apparently
• Kraft Food is the leading US food company and the second biggest food multinational corporation worldwide.

• Kraft foods contain unlabeled GMOs and the company has fought to prevent the passing of labeling requirements.

• Kraft's coffees, including Maxwell House, are not Fair Trade.

• Trade unions in South Africa have called for a boycott of Kraft for refusing to recognize or negotiate with the Food and Allied Workers Union.

# big does not equal evil
if the product is not labelled fair trade don't expect it to be

calls for a boycott are a negotiation tool, big meh

# big equals big money,
big temptation, big ambition, big abstraction, big anonymity, big "somebody else's problem" and big impunity.

Nobody involved is strictly evil, but there are so many ways it can work out for the worse.

# Hmm That could be interesting
as Cadbury is huge in South Africa.

I doubt they would mess with the actual products but I'm sure as Creme Eggs is Creme Eggs that production will shift to the country that has the cheapest labour and there will be thousands of job losses in the UK.
