I don't get it, we need a group to *discuss* this?  Anybody actually
disagree with this one?

Why stop there?

 c.s.a.advocacy.management
"Commodore management sucks"

 c.s.a.advocacy.policy
"Commodore policy 'X' sucks"

See, gets real tedious.  Becomes a way to flaunt ones thesaurus capabilities, 
as in:

 "The backward, blunt, deficient, dense, dim-witted, dull, dumb, feeble-minded,
  idiotic, moronic, obtuse, retarded, simple[-minded], slow, stupid, thick,
  uneducated, unintelligent, demi-human-like creatures who pass themselves off
  as 'management' in Commodore have succeeded only in implementing foolish,
  futile policies and engaging in ill-advised, pointless, profitless and vain
  ventures."

Or, perhaps, exercises in artsy flaming:

 "Pausing to contemplate tonight's sunset, I was struck in the way that
  nature often duplicates the inner soul of man -- for just then the
  thought struck me that the brilliant red streaks running across the
  sky were patterned after many a fanciful fantasy of bludgeoning the
  brains of the management and associated marketroids of Commodore.

  Such fantasies find no recourse in truth, for no modern instrument
  has yet detected the two shared neurons responsible for their
  illustrious, if not infamous, failed procedures."

Or, maybe, Enquirer-type posts:

 "The fewer than half a dozen neurons shared by all Commodore upper
  management were found floating nude engaged in oral intercourse with
  remains of Natalie Wood. See insert on page 12 along with conclusive
  evidence of woman's six inch baby Elvis."

 "Elvis seen posing as chief Cmdre marketroid."

Geez, man, maybe management would come here and discuss their innermost
 fantasies:

 "We pay our CEO more than you do."

 "Our stock routinely triples in value."

Or their innermost thoughts:

 ""

Hmm....

Maybe we could set up a mailing list.  Tell you what, you send me your best
degrading statement, and I'll publish a book entitled either "Truth in
Corporate Management", or "Three Thousand Degrading but True Things About
Your BOSS".  Maybe I'll market it twice under both.  Sounds like a real
win.

No way, mon.  CBTV rules.

[Strangely, I feel much better now. ;) ]
