it's not MJ's company.  _otherness is the dude Thom who used to own Home Skateshop.  Although, he IS affiliated with Adidas, so maybe there is some Mj connection.

I stand corrected about it NOT being Marc's company.  But it actually makes sense.  I had heard from Thom Horning about this project.  And considering the Maple affiliation, and that Thom was/is working for Adidas, it's pretty straightforward.

I hope this company revolves around marriage and finding your significant other, because skateboarding and marriage share one important quality - commitment.

I feel like Marc Johnson could be a fairly common name. Maybe a bunch of different MJs separately own these companies and this website is just grouping them all together?
