This is one of a few carryover ideas from my old blog, and was prevously reserved for the likes of Mr. Trump himself.

However, I just saw an article on Wired about a scientist who discovered a new type of trapdoor spider in Alabama and named it after Neil Young. The spider has been officially named Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi.

There are several reasons this qualifies as my pick for Hilarious Branding

• Neil Young is insulted in in Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama
• Young is from Canada
• It come at an interesting time, as Young has always been a tireless political activist

This is a great example of someone having thier name permenantly attached to something weird, irrelevant, or humorus.
