Poll question: Creepiest Corporation

What's the most monstrous of the corporate monstrosities? I say Monsanto, with their totalitarian designs on the world's food supply.

1. Other: The US government corporate complex that allows them to thrive.
It was just too hard to pick one, so I picked the one that allowed, say, Monsanto to patent genes and that fails to regulate them and the rest.

Without OUR government's complicity, most of the evil that these corporations do would not be possible.

2. As much as they all suck Satan's firey red ass, I would have to go with Monsanto
Because they have killed millions and will kill millions in the future, even if they were to go out of business this very second.

GMO.... HFCS...... obesity....diabetes...... thanks a lot, assholes.

7. Yeah...but everybody I know has boycotted them since the Valdez fuckup
So at least I know I haven't contributed to their evil. Or WalMart's.

6. Monsanto by far
With their terminator seeds out there... now they are trying to develop a strain of seed that will not even germinate without being sprayed with their own chemical cocktail!!

8. Airbus.
They make chemtrails and they're placing them in American airspace.

It's very, very creepy when you think about it.

30. You don't need to make up anything about them to be scary.
When the Bush Crime Family partners with the Bin Ladens (and occasionally cuts Mitt Romney in on the action) that's scary enough as it is.

24. You're right!
They not only "have their fingers in".....they OWN most/if not ALL of the important infrastructure of practically EVERYTHING. YET, they manage to keep a very very 'low profile'.

11. Monsanto is my favorite to hate...
but Dole, Coke and Nestle are experts at exploiting third world countries (and their people) and staying out of the news. We're just not hearing about their water grabs, terrorist funding and other exploitation.

23. Yeah Dole and Nestle are masters of exploitation.
And the worst part is that basically no one knows about their dirty deeds. Talk about good PR teams.

33. I'm going to have to agree with you about Nestle.
Try telling people that the company that makes children's chocolate candies also makes baby formula that provides no more nutrition than cardboard.

Oh my goodness! Not Nestle!

Pfft.

15. Monsanto, by far. We have a giant Monsanto here and even the building is creepy.
It's a giant gray/white monolith with no outside indicator as to the building's contents or purpose.

17. AT&T and all the rest of Eavesdroppers Inc
The rest of that list, too. Turd-filled fear factories, corporations are not democratic institutions.

29. Burger King - everytime I see one of their creepy commercials, it reminds me why I DON'T want one...
they are just too creepy for words...

That fucking "king" costume/character - they must have NO gay talent on the advertising staff...!!!

Everytime I see one of their commercials, I want to PUKE, not eat...

but that's not quite what you mean, is it...

They're everywhere in the US, and control so many of us so directly every goddamned day that I find them the creepiest.
