Google goes Kerouac on your ass

Dear Eric Schmidt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Topeka Inc. ,

For starters, I'd like to start by telling you and your company thank you for allowing me to get through college. I feel without direct pipeline access to my cliffnotes and quick searches, I'd never of made it thru. Today you've caught my eye with your little switch-a-roo with Topeka, KS. It's one thing for a mayor to try and gain some media attention by suggesting such a hip idea as switching its city name to Google, but its a completely different thing for a mega company to be so damn relaxed and chill about it.

Commie companies like Goojje have been trying to ride your namesake's coattails to success for years now and for you to just give it away and keep rolling is hilarious. I think its a great example of how there's still new frontiers for advertising. Its hard to hit a moving target, so fuck em...Let em take the name. I was just discussing yesterday how desensitized I've become to the media and how nothing catches my eye anymore, but Kudos - ya got me.

Lets see if I've been fooled or if you guys actually do switch names with Topeka.

Cheers,
Phil

PS...Fuck You. I'd watch Topeka Talk if it was a "folky midwestern morning show." Bring your little Cali hairstyle to St. Louis and see how "folky" we are bitch.
