Bono trademarking his name

[corianderstem]

He's too late. He should have done it sooner.

Bono

Not only did they steal his name, they obviously stole his likeness, too.

I mean, come on. It's uncanny!

Amazing!





That article might be right. Once they steal your name and slap it on squid, it's all downhill from there.

 

[corianderstem]

Squidward?

 

[martha]

The hell is Jedward?

 

[Danny Boy]

The hell is Jedward?

This.

 

[bonocomet]

Bono should have trademarked ripping his shirt open.

 

[Danny Boy]

Totally off topic, but when I'm in Latin America this still makes me smile.

 

[Nick66]

Someone who happens to be named Paul Hewson should trademark his name and then just sit back and watch the fun.

I think they were called Bono Must Diet,

That's even worse than "Bono must die". No wonder he's pissed

 

[ladyfreckles]

Haha, I don't think it's a sign that they're breaking up. Bono probably just got tired of people putting his name on dumb products.

 

[U2girl]

Any article referring to Bono following in the footsteps of Jedward instantly loses all credibility.

I'm surprised anyone reads it past the title.

Well people we've actually been infringing on "insert singer's name here"s rights since 2001, which is when he actually first registered the trade mark with the European Intellectual Property Office. And seeing it's in force until 2021, we will all need to tread very carefully for the next 9 years....

This.

Good God.

But what the hell is it?

 

[rennowba]

Cookies!

Are those real?

 

[bonocomet]

Are those real?

Definitely! I've tried a few flavors but the chocolate are the best. In fact there is a clip from a Vertigo show where Bono is eating them on stage.

 

[rennowba]

[bonocomet]

He likes them! Hey Mikey!

 

[bonocomet]

Actually I have to get them imported from Brazil.

 

[Super Yo]

Are those real?

Yes, you can buy it everywhere in Brasil.

 

[OpenG180]

Genius move trademarking a latin word, Paul...

I got lost at Bono underwear.

Briefs or boxers is the question.

 

[corianderstem]

Good God.

But what the hell is it?

That's all anyone really needs to know. You don't want to hear them. You don't want to see videos. Just.. don't.

Now I'll be distracted all day.

Briefs, I'm fairly confident.
