KGB

[All-American]

So all throughout the NCAAs, this organization called KGB is running ads for some service where you send in a question via text message, and it gives an answer.

Am I the only one who finds that naming an intelligence-gathering company "KGB" is perhaps a bad idea?

I agree with you. Did you catch the price tag per message ? 99 cents. I'd rather ask google.

And deal with the links? But what if a sumo wrestler is about to squish you?!? Do svidaniya, comrade.

You forgot the "only" before "99 cents"! What a deal!

I'm just glad to see two of the Baldwin's have a gig.

That was one of my first thoughts about that company. Not the best idea, IMO.

I asked my kids what they think of when they hear "KGB". The 3 older ones mentioned those ads. (The youngest mentioned that the Krusty Krab has a K and B in it and that there is a G in SpongeBob.)

Post Cold War kids have little to no idea what KGB means to those of us who were around during that time or know the history of it.

I will say, however, that a few of their ads are rather amusing.
