Had they not heard about this?

Dumbest name for a company ever or is it a weird viral marketing campaign?

I want to know, cause seriously… if they’re a real company, then it shows an incredible lack of “knowledge” for an information research company to brand itself after the former Soviet intelligence bureau and secret police.

Incredibly creepy either way, but it’s either a boneheaded marketing move (you should never brand your company in such a way that something negative comes up in the first five Google search results) or it’s for some upcoming movie.
