Guess that makes me international before international was hip. Fun read. Oh, say hi to our friend in L.A. for me. Bethany Personally, I’ve always been a Guinness fan.

I was surprised when I saw this on the news even here in Japan. Next thing you know, Corona will be sold to the Russians and relabeled as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltika_Breweries" rel="nofollow">Балтика</a> (Baltika). ;-) On a more serious note, you're completely right as far as your tone on internationalization and the effects of globalization. I say let GM fail, too. Yeah, I’m right there with you, buddy. I was surprised when I saw this on the news even here in Japan.

I owned a toystore and had a section for "Made in America" products and I spent more time looking for stuff I could stock there than any other section in the store. Almost impossible to find. What could be found tended to be brand new business that hadn't hit their success bubble yet to make them of interest to bigger companies. The international ocean of big fish gobbles up the little nationalized businesses if they want to succeed for very long. Tho it's a fact of commerce life, it is still disconcerting to adapt to the changing identities of our beloved longtime products. Do you think there will be specialty Bud bottles wearing Brazilian bikinis? One can only hope :) It’s an international world – at least in business now.
