After having a rough time on London’s AIM the ill-named surf clothing brand Hot Tuna is reportedly being sold again, according to a story on Reuters.
“That (the sale) would leave the Plc (public limited company) as a cash shell unencumbered by the brand,” Executive Chairman Francis Ball told Reuters by telephone. . . Ball would leave the company along with Chief Executive Geoff O’Connell and Brand Director Oscar Verden, the company said in a statement on Monday.
The public company formed around the brand will of course continue on (under a different name) because that’s how shells work.. Isn’t it sad when brands continue to stumble on long after they’re dead, isn’t it?

Zumiez Reno store manager Frank Osborn was driving home to Incline, Nevada on the Mt. Rose highway on Thursday, November 3, 2011 when he saw a car slide off the road and down a cliff. He knew he had to do something according to a story in the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Osborn pulled over to the right, called 911, and looked in his car for rope. . . When he couldn’t find rope, he said he grabbed the [hundred foot long garden] hose. . . “I could hear a baby crying,” Osborn said. . . When he got to the car below, a mother and her 2-year-old son, were standing outside of the car. “They both seemed like they were in shock and cold, but I couldn’t believe they were OK and not hurt, no blood.”
Osborn stuffed the boy into his hoodie and climbed the hose back to the road and put him in his car. By then to others had arrived to help. Good to know Zumiez employees are overly helpful even when they’re not moving units.
