Moderators Andavari Posted April 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2007 One of the most alarming things I've noticed is that once a company becomes rich that's when people start filing ridiculously large lawsuits against them claiming they did x amount of millions of dollars of damage, or x amount of billions of dollars of damage.

Moderators DennisD Posted April 26, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2007 With modern health awareness and the ever widening bans on smoking in public places, I'm surprised to see a cigarette manufacturer still up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised to still see the Marlboro logo on the nose section of a Ferrari F1 car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
