So, it's goodbye Facebook and hello Meta.
Dear Mark Zuckerberg,
Rebranding as Meta is a brilliant move. How awkward it would have been to ban murderous, insane and sick nutters from posting on your social media platform.
By simply changing its name instead no-one will now associate your company with the fermentation of violence, Moslem fundamentalism, right wing extremism, anti-democracy cults and the luring of children into sexual abuse, even murder: "Oh, that was Facebook, not Meta. Ooh look! A mini-pineapple! Yummy! To think, they used to call them hand grenades."
If only others had adopted your progressive marketing strategy who knows how different their legacies would have been.
Adolf Hitler would have been seen as a much more fun guy had he changed his name to Adrian Hiller.
Images of lynchings and burning crosses would be things of the past if only the Ku Klux Klan would rebrand as the Lulu Gang.
There are so many others who similarly missed a trick. The Boston Juggler, Ted Grundy, Eddie Amin and Jack the Kipper? Would that they had your giant marketing machine.
I don't know what the unpleasant version of "a rose, is a rose, is a rose" is but it seems to be missing from your mindset.
Still, carry on the awful work,
Reg.
