World Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

World Company is a fictional multinational corporation headquartered in the United States of America, appearing in the satiric French puppet TV show Les Guignols de l'info.

World Company is a symbol of international commerce and anonymous holdings controlling production and sales. Its staff consists of nearly identical copies (save for greyish hair for some older managers) of M. Sylvestre, an executive wearing a suit and a tie, all with Sylvester Stallone's head.

World Company's position, as expressed by M. Sylvestre, is to make as much money as possible without regard for the welfare or happiness of the people, or ecological preservation, and reflects a Marxist understanding of corporations.

World Company plays a significant role in the military-industrial complex and is, of course, opposed by anti-globalization movements.
