Triplets Seperated at Birth ?!?!?!

Amazing!! These three Pop-Culture Demigods possess almost the exact same innate ability to strip the average consumer of their money. While they are from three separate races, I INSIST that they are siblings and have been separated at birth!! How else could they come up with such clever marketing strategies as these:

- One brother changes existing product graphics and designs (not his own) in the smallest way that would evade trademark infringement lawsuits.

- One brother is a phenom at changing HIS OWN existing products and convincing his customer base that they need to buy EVERY update (hey, that sounds familiar... maybe the father is working at Microsoft?)

- One brother just tells his loyal fan base that he is retiring and won't be putting out any new product. (Wasn't it only, like, two months?) Later, his own ego inflates the out-of-retirement hype like he was battling back from a fight with some terminal illness.

Maybe that is what makes these three great in the first place; how easily they have taken our money. Lord knows I have given my share to at least one of these Pop Peddlers. Normally I would be happy to just sit and fill this Blog with pictures of my family, but in being at the age when I am, like it or not, graduating from the world that helped define me for thirty years, I felt that if I had learned anything from all that wanting and spending, I had to say it. Now if you will excuse me, I have to line up for my new PS3....... :-) just kidding(?)
