One of the most memorable and iconic lines in movie history?
"I'd like to do for furniture what Laura Ashley did for fabrics; produce high-quality antiques at a low price." I still get chills

Aloha, Mr. Hand.

What is it about the word "iconic" that makes people want to use it beyond all value? The Statue of Liberty is iconic, the Eiffel Tower is iconic, for better or worse the McDonalds golden arches logo is iconic. As in it's an icon that's recognizable across the world and across languages. "Iconic" is now like the word "awesome", a word that once had value is now used to puff up the most mundane *beep*

I agree with you on the overuse of the word iconic, but I actually would classify the line "Greed is good" as genuinely iconic seeing as how definitively associated it is with the 80's and pretty much sums up the entire decade. But more importantly, this thread was clearly meant as a joke in the first place... share
How about Bud's "3 points" on taking down the big airlines. Pretty ballsy stuff there.
shareThat actually seems a good idea: if the price can be kept at a reasonably low level without sacrificing the quality, there would certainly be demand for them. Hence, by the logic of the market, it is a perfectly reasonable plan. Authenticity is just an overvalued metaphysical myth anyway.
