What Was Fire Good Against Again?
So my jizz is copyright infringement?
Only if it is the “color” yellow. If it is the “colour” yellow, you are fine!
Well, not really, you should see a doctor.
ha….hahaha….ha.
Or just stop eating so much garlic
HAH.
And Cadbury owns the colour purple.
Whoopi Goldberg gets royalties from it, though.
And UPS trademarked the color brown.
Gets worse, it wasn’t even their own box cars at the time, they were renting them.
And then there is the guy who tried to patent the yellow bean: http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2009/07/mexican-yellow-bean-patent-finally-cooked.html
and I own every other non trademarked color. *pukes the rainbow*
sorry, the rainbow is trademarked by homosexuals
*steals gold at end of rainbow*
HOLY **** ITS A LEPRECHAUN!
*gets the crap beaten out of him by leprechaun*
You sir. you are full of Win.
I know =P
As long as you didn’t touch him, leprechauns are a protected species you know!
Why the f*** is there a leprechaun at the end of MY RAINBOW. We all know its RWJ.
wtf happend to verne troyer always being at the end of those damn things
double rainbow vomit all the way! its so intense!
It’s starting to look like triple rainbow vomit! <3
It’s so bright and vivid!
Oh my god!
Jeez, you can’t own a color: you can only use them.
Actually, you can. But it must be a specific colour. Cadbury owns a certain purple, Coca-cola owns a red, Pepsi a blue and so on and so forth.
Where did you get your misinformation from? Or did you just assume because you’re the kind who forgets that the big companies ≫ everything else.
Michigan State Police own a specific shade of blue
So I can’t piss yellow anymore by myself?
Nope you need a lawyer to watch you pee so they don’t sue you.
In a world where companies threaten consumers for simply HUMMING a song without paying royalties, where people win lawsuits for spilling coffee on themselves, and burglars win lawsuits against people whose houses they broke into…the fact that I could easily see some bastard corporation pulling a stunt like that and successfully turning it into a profit scheme makes me die a little inside.
Hell man, people have been complaining about the increasingly insane laws that govern society for at least the last 2000 years, if not longer. Jesus complained extensively about pharisees, the lawyers of the time, exploiting the law to do some plain idiotic and corrupt things. Yet here we are 2000 years later and what’s happened? More laws. Laws for everything, and with each law a million loopholes to be exploited by those with enough money to hire lawyers to find them.
Frankly the world would be a better place if all the laws were all repealed and replaced with a “10 commandment”-esque list of simple principles to live by, with judges deciding if you’d been an asshat.
lol wut, sure let’s get rid of all laws and let the judges pick. The laws have all been adapted to current situations and debated / voted by tons of people. And the judge is just 1 person with an own opinion, he/she can be racist, have a strong dislike for snobs or punks, or be uber feminist or sexist.
Sounds great.
Did you not see ‘replace with a 10 commandment-esque list’? The 10 commandments were the original laws, and really do nothing more than stress common sense. Don’t steal, don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t kill, blah blah blah. The first American laws and the Constitution were based on the Commandments, but we have sadly drifted very, very far from our Christian roots.
To quote a great book:
“All crime is a form of theft. If you lie, you steal a man’s right to the truth. If you murder a man, you steal his right to life, his wife’s right to a husband, and his children’s right to a father. If you cheat, you steal your spouse’s right to a faithful partner. Theft is the worst possible crime.”
-Baba – The Kite Runner (Maybe not word for word, but its damn close.)
oh my
first of all, the ten commandments were NOT the original law, Hinduism and egyptian mythology long predates Moses.
second of all, you would have to restructure the entire government if it was to abide by the ten commandments: lets start with killing: within the last 200 years the united states have had 10 wars, if recall correctly, thats an average of a war every 20 years. So killing is not an unfamiliar hobby for USA.
Dont lie? politics is based on lying, but looking aside from that the average person will during a 10 min conversation tell 4 lies. u wanna ban that? imagine the horrifying truths that would tear through every home in the world.
i have more but i think i proved my point
But these can only be applied to murder and theft. Onless you change the meaning of theft, then they pretty much apply to anything the judge would want them to. So it would still be the judges personal pick after all.
And even if they say murder and theft is wrong they still don’t say anything about the severity and the punishment.
Those commandments are really nice to live by, but actually using them in court (with no further laws) would only work in Utopia.
in a utopia people wouldnt commit crimes so there would be no need for laws
true
I guess it only applies to bats. But you’re free to piss any color you’d like: Yellow, blue, red ..
and UPS owns Dog poop brown!
We could do with a chart to tell us which bits of the spectrum they own. I mean, is it just 255,255,0 RGB or is there a range? It would also be useful to stop the arguments my kids have in the car over the ‘yellow(TM) car no returns’ game where they bash each other if they see a yellow(TM)car, and then argue whether it was really yellow(TM) or more orangey or goldy…
yellow car game FTW (it gives me a legit reason to punch my sis)
you need counselling, or handcuffs.
Does the Green Lantern know of this?!
this is an old picture I have long since bought the color yellow, and it hurts.
Companies or people can own the rights to certain colors in certain contexts. John Deere, for example, owns the right to exclusively use their specific color green on tractors and farm equipment. The theory is that customers so equate the green color with John Deere, that there would be customer confusion if another tractor company used that color. You could, however, use that color green on a series of bobble heads or waffle irons.
The same applies here, the color yellow would be trademarked in the instances of plastic bats, or perhaps all bats, because the customer association of yellow to the Wiffle company is so strong.
Or on a water tower.
/dumb country song reference
Is Wiffle the Green Lantern’s arch nemesis or something?
The color YELLOW is a registered trademark of Wiffle Ball and is brought to you by the letter Y.
