IT’S SUNTORY TIME IN KENTUCKY
Yr Globalization M&A lede of the day:
I don’t particularly object to this. I will say it reminds me of all the anti-Japanese sentiment in the 80s when Japanese companies started dominating the automobile market and buying out American companies and baseball teams and everyone was frightened by all this “globalization” hoodoo.
I didn’t care then, and I don’t really care now. It just knocks me out to think that a product that makes a big deal of its Kentucky origins is now owned by a Japanese company.
I’m sure somewhere on the interwebs (or possibly Fox News) some people are dithering over this blatant attack on American booze sovereignty.
They should just follow Bill Murray’s advice and relax.
PRODUCTION NOTE: If you’ve never seen Lost In Translation, that’s a fake ad for the film.
This, however, is real.
