Can you pick out Willamette Week’s new logo from this line up?

Holy crap I didn't know WW was owned by VW...

I thought it reminded me of something...

They are not owned by VW, but they also used slave labor during the war.

My plan to agitate for the paper to change its name to "Willamette Wanderer" just picked up steam. Thanks!

However, it is worth noting that because both WW's owner are Jewish, Amy Ruiz has just committed a HATE CRIME. Nice going, Amy! HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME!

...I kinda like it, actually.

Sorry.

I can corroborate that WW did indeed use slave labor during the war.

Well, of course Amy committed a hate crime -- she's a member of the Klu Klux Klan, after all. I bet no one makes racist comments like hers in the U.K. Perhaps to make amends for her unexamined racism, we should rename NE 21st to NE Maimonides Ave.

You forgot the Weezer logo!!!

They did not just change the logo, they changed the whole name of the paper to "Weak Week."

Hey, I'm Jewish and that logo scares me.

Don't be scared, it's just World Wrestling Entertainment.

Just be scared if you are next to take on the Undertaker! NO MERCY!!!!

Hmmm, look at what else WW stands for: "Wilhelm Weiss was, in the time of the Third Reich, an SA Obergruppenführer as well as editor-in-chief of the Nazi Party's official newspaper, the Völkischer Beobachter"
