This is THE stupidest thing I've ever seen

Ohio State is seeking to trademark THE.

Ohio State seeks to trademark the word 'The'

Amateur Athletics.

 

You will owe them for using that word in your headline.

 

I'm going to trademark the word "sex" so only I can have it. Everyone else will have to pay me to have it. I'll be the world's pimp.

 

I could see if they wanted to trademark an italicized "The," since that's the way every NFL player pronounces it. But that'd only make it the second stupidest thing I'd ever seen.

 

I hope that you have fun with yourself.

 

I’ll trademark “Ohio” and “State”, but not the two words together. I’ll be making a shitload of cash around the 2020 election.

 

Come to think of it, I’ll trademark the words “Make” “America” “Great” and “Again,” but not the phrase.

Anyone who uses that will have to pay me four separate royalities.

 

In somewhat related news, did you know "Taco Tuesday" has a trademark on it?

I think they should be granted the trademark, but only when spelled by a marching band

Didn’t think it was possible to hate Ohio State any more than I do. Yet here we are.

 

Yes, this is why we are so enamored with tOSU.
