"Moves to safeguard company trademarks and stamp out ambush marketing, to preserve the monopoly of official advertisers and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) logo, are raising concerns among civil liberty groups." You can't beat a good monopoly. You gotta love 'em. Sacred are the company trademarks. Sacrosanct, inviolable, bless their little cotton socks. And thank the lord for the Police, always doing a good job. Yes, many-a-time have I been subject to violent attack by a poster residing within a persons home as I walk past on the street outside. And many-a-time also, have I been swindled by such posters over the internet and found my bank account horribly over-drawn as a direct result. It's all too real I tell you. Posters are evil, bad, bad things. Company trade marks should not be violated, for they are sacred in the omnipotent eyes of the one true Piggy Bank. Blessed are the advertisements too, for their wise words we should all be wise to listen to, for within which are the keys to improving our lifestyles. All hail the Olympic games. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
