The Problem with OPortunity

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not committed to being responsive to the populace, which is why we find it a bit odd that the Parent Corporation and their cronies have decided to try a new marketing approach in which they present themselves as the friend of the little guy and try to paint us as "an out-of-touch corporation." Their statement would have to try very hard to be further from the truth. Do they have a blog? Do they have local offices where any world citizen can go and be instructed and have their concerns addressed? We think not. What they do have, is a lot of phony-shmony "loyalty programs" and "local" companies that are mere facades. As we understand it, the OPortunity MLM venture was an attempt to gain customer loyalty and to erase the stigma of being the Parent Corporation. If people feel invested in a company they won't view it as evil because that would necessitate believing themselves to be evil. Please don't be fooled by the Parent Corporation's new marketing, and please explain their ploys to any of your friends who may be considering joining them.
