Some Fun From the Internet Way Back Machine

Oh how I am loving Bill Marler right about now. The other day I went looking for Peanut Corporation of America's website. I figured it would have some info about the company, plus some amusing marketing text about how great they are. By this point, the site is nothing but a bunch of press releases about recalls.

But nothing ever goes away on the Internet. Bill Marler went and found all the fun stuff that I couldn't find myself :) In a post called Where Peanut Butter Web Pages Go To Die he quotes the old site. Here's my favorite paragraph

Safety and Quality do make a difference. We have a remarkable Food-Safety record, developed in an environment committed to continuous training and state-of-the-art Food Safety techniques. From the corporate office to the plant floors, our comprehensive Quality Control program assists us in preventing error, reducing waste, meeting requirements, measuring results and satisfying our customers.

Oh, yes! They DO have a remarkable food safety record. In fact, the entire national press corps is abuzz talking about it! Marler's got a second post of internet fun up here. Also, he mentions that due to the recent bankruptcy of PCA, he's changing all of his lawsuits to name Stewart Parnell as the defendant instead of the corporation. So... nice try Parnell!
