Oil company changes its name to "Pixar"

A Canadian oil company called Paramount Resources has changed its name to Pixar. Seriously.

Previously known as Paramount Resources, I guess the executives got tired of being named after one of Hollywood's has-been brands. As far as I can tell, this is not a joke, there's even a serious sounding press release composed without a hint of irony. It's being reported in the wider media as well.

Oil Company renames itself Pixar

(Thanks, John!)
