(2003-04-14) — In an effort to distance itself from its past transgressions and legal problems, WorldCom announced today that it would emerge from bankruptcy under the brand name ‘Clinton.’
“Although we continue to maintain that we did not have illegal corporate relations with anyone, our PR department recommended a fresh start,” said a WorldCom spokesman. “Clinton was a natural choice, given our history in the deep South. Under the new name we think people will eventually forget about all the bad stuff.”
The spokesman went on to talk fondly about the firm’s founding in Clinton, Mississippi. The board is also considering a plan to relocate corporate headquarters “somewhere further north.”
