#OWSpwned?
(NY Post) A Long Island couple dreaming of cashing in on the Occupy Wall Street protests has filed for trademark rights to the movement’s name so they can peddle bumper stickers, T-shirts, beach bags and other gear bearing the OWS logo.
Robert and Diane Maresca paid $975 for the application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office on Oct. 18.
Hmm, I think I might have to apply and tradmark “I am the 99%”. But, I suppose the Occupiers wouldn’t care, because they never buy anything involved in capitalism, right?
Meanwhile
- Zuccotti Park’ers got some haircuts.
- Jammie Wearing Fool has some great stuff, such as the Oakland PD shutting down the Occupiers and Occupiers losing their virginity.
- Hot Air highlights that #OWS is fracturing over drumming.
- And, yeah, there’s an app for that, via Weasel Zippers.
- The Occupiers even have their own “Wall Street Journal“
- Apparently, there are a crapload of 99%ers who havebeenonstrike for…wait, 8 years? Seriously?
And here’s one that symbolizes the entitlement and grievance mentality
So, she’s upset at Wall Street because some a-hole vandalized her car, and the insurance she signed up for doesn’t cover the repairs? Also, if you are getting a degree that is only worth something if you go on to get a Master’s Degree, even with graduating cum laude, you might rethink your chosen field of basket weaving, gender studies, or whatever soft discipline you’re taking.
On strike for eight years?
Face it, Hon – after the first year, you’re not on strike, you’re unemployed.
Good for Oakland.
