... brought to you in an attempt to lighten the tone of things around here lately.

I'm sincerely hoping that others will jump right in and share their thoughts on any (and I'm certain there are many that are LGBT-themed too) of their own that might come to mind.

----------

I would really like to know who the crazy is at the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office that approved Wal*Mart's trade-name for its' new line of store-branded (otherwise known as White-label or No-name) products.

"Great Value" apparently is the approved trade-mark, now making a name for itself in the North American media.

I can already see the trademark and patent infringement suits queuing up all over the place. Wal*Mart is going to be really, really, busy defending their new brand-name, and every Mom-and-Pop store, not to mention those Big-box Retailers (many of them competitor of the seemingly now ubiquitous Wal*Mart) will likely fall victim to this lunacy.

Think about it just for a minute ... and you'll surely recall hundreds, if not thousands, of printed flyers or other such mass-market pieces delivered over the years in your local newspaper, or in your mail box, with many, if not all, extolling the virtue of their offering as being "Great value". This of course doesn't even consider the myriad number of Radio and Television commercials which proclaim their clients worthiness using the same two words.

It is situations such as this that my mother would have dearly loved me to have become a lawyer!

Thanks Warren,

The copyright people are out of their minds. Here's my contribution;

What do you think about all the drug commercials on TV (oh, you don't watch TV...well good). Anyway, they have come up with all manner of crazy drugs for invented diseases...like "Restless Leg Syndrome"...yep...honest...that's one of 'em. They tell you it makes your legs comfortable in cramped airplane seats. Oh wow! Gimme gimme! Anyway, after they tell you how these drugs will turn your life into a "heaven on earth", this speed talker comes on and begins to babble all the horrendous side effects of the drug..."may cause drowsiness during masturbation and in rare cases has been known to cause penises to drop off like ripe bananas." I mean the side effects are much much worse than the putative ills that they are supposed to treat. And they got a million of 'em, if you're shy, if your depression meds need a boost to shoot you into the stratosphere of undepressed bliss. I just don't see how that sorta stuff can be legal.

I've got lots more. The guy that comes on and tells you that if you haven't paid your taxes since like forever, he will sick his IRS trained employees on the government and get them to agree to 10% of what you really owe.

Or the lawyers that advertize "get what you got comming to you...we mean business...sue the bastards!"

And this is off topic, but why can't women appear on TV bare chested. It's OK for men but not for women. I have never found a woman's body dirty or obscene to look at. A lot of them are actually rather artful.

A lot of things are fucked up in this world. It makes for great entertainment sometimes.
