Simply that a number of the companies whose logos appear in the film had
financial difficulties after the film was released, despite being market
leaders in 1981/1982. The Bell System monopoly, for example, was broken up
in late 1982, and all of the resulting Regional Bell operating companies
have since changed their names and merged back with each other and other
companies to form the new AT&T. RCA, which at one time was the leading
consumer electronics and communications conglomerate in the world, was
bought out by one time parent GE in 1985, and dismantled. Also in 1985,
Coca-Cola released their "new formula," resulting in losses of millions of
dollars. Atari, which had 70% of the home video game market when the film
came out, never recovered from the next year's downturn in the industry, and
by the 1990s had ceased to exist as anything more than a brand. The Atari of
today is an entirely different firm, using the former company's name.
Cuisinart filed for bankruptcy in July 1989. Pan Am suffered the terrorist
bombing/destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 and went bankrupt in 1991, after a
decade of mounting losses.

Horus - born 25th Dec. 3000BC
Attis - born 25th Dec. 1200BC
Mithra - born 25th Dec. 1200BC
Dionysus - born 25th Dec. 500BC
Jesus - born 25th Dec. 0BC

All religion is bullshit - who knows what else came even before Horus?

Anyway, the correct answer is that it's a cartoon and noone really cares :P

Popular opinion is that Betty Rubble is hotter, I was reading that
today. Also Barney is supposed to be hotter in the sack than Fred.
