There is a tendency among this group, and for all I know society in
general, to fear speaking or writing certain brand names in public. So
much so that ordinary conversations which would have words like
"Toyota" (boy quota) and Harbor Freight and McDonalds and Walmart are
given this spooky extra-earthly dimension by people who apparently
worship these brand to the point that they can't even speak their
names. I think it is giving these brands way too much authority over
our lives, myself.
