Best Western, Worst Western

In Mars Riley on November 15, 2009 at 10:55 pm

Best Western has an identity problem that has been 60 years in the making. Simply put, each of their hotels is an independently owned and operated franchise—each one unique. Considering they have 4,000 hotels in 80 countries, that may be too much uniqueness. It is impossible to predict what kind of hotel you are going to get when you book a room at a Best Western. It might be high-end, low-end, or somewhere in between. There is no way of knowing until you get there. [On the Button]

The house that Bob Marley built

It may have taken 18 years, but the family of Bob Marley is now getting serious about the use of his name and image. This is not going to be an easy task. As anyone who has been to a street fair, beach boardwalk, or head shop can tell you – bootlegged Bob Marley merchandise is everywhere. In fact, it is hard to imagine these places without it.

The Olsen Twins go Olsenboye

Some things you should know about me: I am not a teenage girl. I rarely wear branded clothing. I do not shop at J.C. Penney. I dislike cupcakes. And I am not a fan of the Olsen Twins (Although, I do think one of them is kind of cute, but I’m not sure which one it is). [On the Button]
