The Wall Street Journal reports that the management of America Online is asking its Time Warner parent to drop "America Online" from the corporate name.

AOL Time Warner Inc. is moving toward dropping AOL from the corporate name, which would then revert to "Time Warner."

In a surprising twist, management of America Online has been lobbying AOL Chairman Richard Parsons to drop AOL from the corporate name, arguing that the online service's brand name is being hurt by the identification of the corporate woes with the service.

The cynic might argue that this is a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black.
