American Crappie Association
I'll spare you the crappy brand pun and just give you the straight poop. If you want to start an association in support of something with a name like "crappie," you might consider including a demonstrative adjective like "the" -- eg, American Association of The Crappie. They should've gone fishing for a new name.

Colon Holdings
A good friend of the Good/Bad family (hmmm, maybe I should start Good Friend Bad Friend), Bryson Meunier, came across this company and something in his gut told him it was worth submitting. It's unfortunate that the parents of the proprietors saddled them with this last name but they didn't have to go and put it front and center on their business. Let's just hope in these tough times for US real estate, they're keeping their assets, er... liquid.
Playskool
Here's another Hasbro brand -- this one's not as kool though. Sure it's a popular brand (or at least it was when I was growing up -- I still can't get that jingle out of my head... "I've got Playskool dinosaurs, they're big and strong and tough.") but I hate how it reinforces improper spelling -- as if kids needs any help in that department. I firmly believe that childrens' brands shouldn't play around (should I have said, toy around?) with proper grammar. This brand may have staying power but, in my book, it's a has-been.
Cumby's Heartbeater
Jimmy Davis sent this one in for Good Slogan Bad Slogan but I think it's more appropriate here. Not sure what these guys were thinking but a general rule of thumb when picking a brand name is not to use any combination of the the letters c-u-m and the word "beater." This brand is limp.
