K2 Sold!

Mr Coffee pro model?

haha that would be funny

I hope they don't turn into a big corporate whore

same

Uh...too late? I mean, if you think "big corporate whores" are a bad thing...

try www.k2sports.net

If that doesn't reek of "big coorporate whore", I don't really know what would, if such a thing were to be conceived of as a "bad thing".

yeah mate but these guys taking it over seem to have a fairly diverse portfolio. The K2 house is pretty much all snow sports. Hopefully its not just being acquired to be a 'cash cow' for other Jarden companies

honestly dude, a big company is a big company is a big company. Some make toasters, some make cars, some make skis and snowboards. It's all the same shit, I don't know why this buyout is such a big deal.

to who??

no.. not really, but whatever. companies have different philosophies. But yeah it not really a big deal

i just hope K2 stays the same. good old k2

arent they already that?
