OMG, what incredible ignorance!

Now, tell me without using Wikipedia, which company owns the Hoover vacuum cleaner brand, unless you are incredibly ignorant.

OR, maybe just not everyone has a weird obsession with every single industry in the world.

I think it would be obvious to pretty much everyone that Hoover would own the Hoover brand, not Nintendo.

Actually, I tried to look it up, but I'm not quite sure. Hoover was bought by Maytag, Maytag was bought by Whirpool, and later Whirpool sold it, but I lost it there. 

 

Anyways, that was not my point. Why the guy quoted by the op indeed seems a bit arrogant, (even though we only know one version), please, don't be elitists and believe that EVERYONE is supposed to know these things.
