P&G, 666, Satanism, Amway

I don't know about you, but growing up in the 80s i heard a lot about this urban myth rumor that Procter and Gamble supports Satanism. What do you know, after more than 20 years of battling this defamation, US District Court jury found a group of Amway distributors are responsible for starting all these accusations.

The origins of this accusation are apparently based on a passage from the Book of Revelation in the Bible, stating: "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars." And the old P&G logo perfectly fit this description. They also claimed that the number 666 could be seen from the inside of the logo.

However, the company states that the 13 stars are a tribute to the first 13 of US original states and the 666 pattern in the logo just pure coincident.

Amway, which sells the same household products as P&G but with multi-level marketing strategy says that they will provide assistance to their former distributors if they opt to proceed with an appeal to the court's ruling.

Btw, the ruling is for $25 million in damages against the four former distributors. I hate Amway, and their aggressive yet very very tricky persuasion to get people to sign up for them. I fell victim a few times. Well, the latest was involving Internet marketing. I think they changed their name to quixtar as a leading Internet company that will rule the world.
I'm having a Bush moment, fool me once shame on who? whatever...
