You would think so.

You would think someone can overrule marketing when they have a truly stupid idea.
Yes, you would think so. But you'd often be wrong. :-)

Marketing: the last unstoppable force in the universe

Once they have the nubbles of a "Great Idea" between their teeth, beware anyone who tries to reach close to their mouths to dislodge it.

Case in point. Company I was with decided the product needed rebranding. Current name didn't invoke visions of sugarplums or something. Changed product name and tried to push it.

Something similar to the Borland/Imprise fiasco. Once those smart MBA types get an idea, it would take a Singapore caning to beat it out of them (and maybe not even then).

Memory leaks, like the corners of my mind... naw, doesn't quite make the same impression
