Wonkette drive-by operative “Gerogia” from Tessennee sends this photo and writes: “AIG was founded in Nashville. I live near the HQ in Nashville. A few days after the bonus debacle they blacked out the AIG logo. On my way to the gym last week I was startled by this new sign. I guess they renamed themselves and the marketing wizards are billing us (TAXPAYERS) for new signage, letterhead, business cards ect … Seriously this is what they are busy doing with our money …” SOMETHING LIKE THAT. They replaced the AIG logo with that of one of its non-corrupt subsidiaries. Meh, same difference to us. So now you’ll want to throw your Molotov cocktails at and poop on all AGLA signs, fyi.
‘AGLA’ Company Is Secretly AIG

And I suppose no one knows John Wayne’s real name was Marion Morrison.
AGLA is secret code for this:
http://www.agla.org/
New chapters opening in VT and IA any day now.
That’s genius. Whoever thought up the name change deserves a bonus.
Some gay things that AGLA stands for:
Arlington Gay and Lesbian Alliance
Association of Gay and Lesbian Armenians
Arizona Girls Lacrosse Association (Lady lacrosse players are all lesbians, as is well known.)
Alan Gun Leather Accessories (Guns, yeah, ok… but leather. Crack that whip, boy!)
Thanks to my combined blog visits to Wonkette and The Free Republic, I can’t see TAXPAYER in all caps without thinking of teabagging.
Oh god, make it stop!
I trust ALGA, for some reason.
…and I was really hoping that they would change their names to a symbol like prince! Maybe something like THIS!
In Helvetica Bold, natch.
AFLAC!
[re=283249]SwanSwanH[/re]: Helvetica? How gauche.
Why is it when I saw that sign I thought it said NAMBLA?
Just like Phillip Morris!
Looks like the American Gay and Lesbian Association to me.
[re=283262]Too Lazy To Sign In[/re]: Damn, beat me to it.
I just dug up half my gold and bought me some shares in ALGA. That’s change I can believe in.
HAHA, fail. They did that because they bought American General’s life and casualty operations a few years back so they thought they could hide under that rubric.
Be on the lookout for ALICO, too, the American Life Insurance Company. That’s another AIG life insurance subsidiary. They have a building in the unnamed mid-sized blue-state city where I work, whose AIG signs and flags were mysteriously substituted by gnomes about 10 days ago to a non-threatening lower-case logo that sez “alico”. Weirdly, ALICO doesn’t even write life insurance in the US and A.
[re=283262]Too Lazy To Sign In[/re]: they have molested the whole world in teh financials .
[re=283278]Mac W Cheese[/re]: I was going with “All/American (you pick!) Gays Love Anal”. I guess yours is more PC.
[re=283262]Too Lazy To Sign In[/re]: AIG = AGLA = NAMBLA = Illuminati = NEW WORLD ORDER.
WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!!
AruGuLA? As in that damn eruca sativa Hopey puts in his salad?
(reminder: http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/15/introducing-barack-arugula-obama/ )
[re=283278]Mac W Cheese[/re]: Should get them to start denying it as often as possible. No better way to spread a rumor.
A few days after the bonus debacle they blacked out the AIG logo.
It’s a trend. The conservative Episcopal churches in Nashville did the same thing when Canon Robinson became bishop. I’m just waiting for them to actually change their names.
wasn’t AGLA the heroine of clan of the cave bear?
Hey, AGLA use to be the “Alaska Gay and Lesbian Assoc.”, the student G&L group at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, of which I was the esteemed president for a year or three, who can remember it was like 15 years ago!
NB: they did the same thing to their auto insurance subsidiary. It’s now 21st centurion or some such shit. At least they still have that cute little lizard.
Brilliant! And I shall change my name to TGUY!
What kind of name is “Ger-o-gia”? Parents dyslexic or something?
AIG wasn’t founded in Nashville.
A skunk by any other name…
