What do you do when you’re branded?

Not only am I tired of hearing about Tiger Woods, I'm tired of hearing about Tiger Woods' “brand.”

In fact, I’m tired of hearing about anyone's “brand.”

That meme has had ten years to run its course. Just let it go.

Also: I’m tired of hearing about “memes.”

Wasn't "Branded" the name of the fictive TV series supposedly scripted by a man in an iron lung in the movie "The Big Lebowski"?

I don't know about that, but there was a TV show called "Branded" – the title of the post is a line from its theme song. It starred Chuck Connors, post-Rifleman, as Jason McCord, a US Cavalry officer who was 'branded' (but not literally) as a coward because he allowed Joe Lieberman to hijack healthcare reform just to gratify his own narcissism.

Or something like that. It was a long time ago.
