Imagine that your successful company has been doing business for years with a name that people recognize and that you think is kinda cool. Then imagine a big corporation launches a television program that uses the exact same name as your company.

Ugh, right?

Imagine how your life would be if the TV show sucks.

Smashlab

What do you think of Eric's response?
