Large houses battle for market share not only with their traditional competitors but also with niche brands.

I was vaguely reassured when I saw a sign being held up saying "John 3:16," thinking that at least religion was still paramount. Nate quickly explained that it was a twisted sexual reference to a certain female wrestler who had announced the week before that she does not wear underwear. I debated walking out.
