This is giving me a headache. You know somebody got millions of won to pitch an idea like that. Somebody should tell Samsung, KT&G, and others that if your name means everything it really means nothing. Besides, how the heck do you get “Challenge to the Top” from “C&T”?
UPDATE
Speaking of things that mean everything so they mean nothing, there is now the 585 generation with some ambiguous rationale (as if 386 was an exact demographic box). Speaking as a 379er, the son of a 465er and a 758er, and a father of a 204er, I think this is getting rather silly.

I thought that the “386 generation” made a bit of a sense at the time. However naive it looks to us in hindsight, back in 2002 people really did have a palpable sense that a new, younger generation of Korean politicians were really going to change political life and the economy, and that new name for them helped to add to that feeling.
But I agree, if each digit doesn’t mean the same thing each time around (should be 575), then the new “585″ moniker is just a waste of time. What will the digits mean for the next administration? How many mistresses they have?
KT&G pisses me off every time I see ‘Korea Tomorrow and Global’
Quit trying to hide the fact you’re selling cancer sticks.
I look at C&T and all I see is “Cunt”, or maybe that’s just me.
On that note, F&A would have the kind of dynamic, positive and uplifting ring that they might be looking for.
