This is so gay.

 

[Professor Oreo]

Huh? Did those guys invent the word? How in the hell can you trademark something that you didn't personally create? It's like back when Donald Trump was trying to trademark the phrase "You're Fired"...

Say... maybe I can try to trademark the entire alphabet then anytime someone tries to type or write something they'll have to pay me a finder's fee...

 

[SpazX]

Haha, people are stupid.

Yeah - copyright colors, copyright the song "Happy Birthday" - copyright the whole damn world.

Copyright is out of control.

I think somebody tried to copyright NSFW... and others are trying to copyright a bunch of other phrases too.
