What’s in a name?

Ok, let’s all be honest, we all thought it was awfully weird that one of the world’s most popular breakfast joints, IHOP, suddenly and drastically changed their name to IHOb. But was it actually the marketing ploy of the year? Possibly. Should we expect the change to be long-term? Probably not.

Competition is good…

Actually tried to play the DVD from Lion King 1 1/2 this weekend, and couldn’t get it done because it was scratched beyond the player’s ability to read it.  No options that we found to rent a stream of it, so this would fit the bill.  I am not going to answer whether my wife and I, or my kids, are over the age typically associated with Disney Animated Movies 🙂

I wish this option, or the Netflix option were available this weekend.
