Unstable 9 #2 March 5, 2008 That's hilarious. I guess now Apple owns the letter "i." Maybe they'll sue Sesame Street next time for teaching the letter "i" without their consent.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #3 March 5, 2008 How much do you know about trademark law? The Apple suit absolutely has merits. It has nothing to do with the letter "i" and everything to do with a product that is designed to be used with their product but with a confusing name and advertising campaign.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #9 March 6, 2008 Here's the thing I want to know; Why are women's masturbation products cool, are of such a wide variety and socially acceptable, yet men's products are, well, just gross? You can go into any shopping mall in the US, find a Brookstone and a HUGE selection of vibrators just sitting out in the open for all the world to see. Everything from little AA pocket models to huge freekin' multi-speed AC powered machines that quite frankly I could never in my wildest imagination ever hope to keep up with. Going back to that ad that started this thread; look at how "fun" that looks! I mean, you gotta know it's cool just looking at that ad. Look at how much "fun" the user seems to be having. Men's products? Uh . . . I don't think I'd even want to go into the stores that sell them. And I sure as hell don't want to see any ads demonstrating them. But the women's stuff? Hmmm . . . I think I actually could stand to see a few demos.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #12 March 6, 2008 I take it you don't think this currently happens? Think about the conversations women have had on this forum about who gets to sit in the "magic" spot in the Skyvan. Those women are having orgasms right there on the ride to altitude. Imagine for a second or two a guy doing that and exactly how many seconds it would take for him to get tossed out the door.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #13 March 6, 2008 I agree with Paul. There is a likelihood of confusion - seeing as how the silhouette is almost exactly like that of an iPod My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #14 March 6, 2008 No my friend, I know you're right. I'm just teasing. At first I thought the Skyvan thing was just a CouchFreaks kind of deal (a LOT of stuff happens there..) but then I saw them fight over the magic corner seat at Eloy, then once at Skydive Dallas Skyvan event, then at MOAB, well, whenever there has been a skyvan, some girl gets the buzzy corner.... I wonder if that ever will be appropriate for guys to do?!?!=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt iGasm will suffer from revenuous-interruptus, but I doubt it'll come to fines or punative damage. This company seems to have been a bit more circumspect.
