(like a few days ago someone I know wnated to work for a big advertising firm and the first contest was: "look at those 20 symbols and tell us what company it is" .. I mean??? Do you really need to know all those symbols? And I can imagine: ok its for a job at an advertizing company, but even then .. and the symbols were from stupid unknown companies... whats the point is this? And they selected people based on that....

Probably you heard a biased story here... they could not have selected people based on ONLY that...

And if the interviewer's asking you 'do you know the names of our top bosses', then he/she is not FIT to take your interview... and has absolutely NO IDEA what to do when one is the interviewer...

Nono, its not a biased story.. I heard it from someone I know and I have checked it with someone else who works there.. and she told me they do indeed select the first round with that kind of question...

And you dont want to know how many idiots there are taking interviews....
