Jack Black Likes Grickle? o_O

Does Jack Black like Grickle? That's pretty cool, you'd think Telltale would feature that more prominently on the site!
Never mind, just realised that was shopped. I think.
Actually, now I don't think it was shopped.

Maybe it was cold?
THAT'S FORBIDDEN!!!
Man, whoever came up with that had a stick up their ass or what?
I wonder why they care. Surely it just shows how well known they have become.
Haha, that's ridiculous. Trying to control language? You'd have better luck trying to control an avalanche of cats.
Anyway, I don't see Hoover, Xerox, or Google complaining. :rolleyes:
Maybe Adobe is on to something then, if people that use the verb start to forget the origins...
Wow, I wonder how many celebraties order from your game warehouse? I wonder if any are on the forums... Watching us :eek:.
So Adobe has to make such warnings in order to legally protect the Photoshop trademark.
A canonical example of a genericized trademark is escalator; most people don't know it was a trademark at one time.
I was under the impression that Microsoft actually wants "Bing" to become a verb. I heard it used on some TV show (as in, "Why don't you Bing it?"), and assumed it had to be product placement because it was so jarring. No one says "Bing it". I think they showed the webpage too. Would a company court common usage like that for the exposure, then whack up some legal stuff to the contrary to ensure the trademark remains protected?
To be fair, have you ever *tried* to control an avalanche of cats?
I think a giant canister of canned air combined with an enormous vacuum cleaner would be the most reliable way to divert it.
Psy totally called me out... I feel like such a poseur.
Yup, I think you're right, though Microsoft is being a bit too blatant about it for my tastes. That's exactly the sort of evidence you would use to show that Microsoft failed to protect its rights in the mark. And yes, Microsoft is being sued for trademark infringement. The Bing trademark application hasn't been approved yet by the USPTO, either, and at least two companies have filed oppositions to Microsoft's application, claiming they used the term "bing" first.
Google, of course, is now actively protecting its mark even though Larry Page, one of Google's founders, has used the phrase "keep googling" in the distant past.
Well, you could always test out your hypothesis...with science!
Let's see, who on the forum has a large number of cats...
Laser pointers, tons of them. Cats love them and would follow them over a cliff if necessary (not that I would want that, I love cats).
I'm guessing now it's Brutal Legend though...
That's probably enough legal pedantry for now.
I think we'd need an assortment. For instance, among my two cats, one goes for the 2D stuff (laser pointers, shadows..) but couldn't care less for 3D stuff, and the other doesn't care at all about 2D stuff but anything 3D (ball of paper, yarn, robe belt) will get him all worked up.
So I think we need to create shadows on the left and throw crumpled paper on the right or something. This way they'll go one way or the other and we'll be fine in the middle.
Oh no, I smell a 2D vs 3D war brewing.
No, no, I can be peaceable about this. Avistew is probably correct, cats are fickle creatures, they're also better than all of us and they know it. It's gonna take this whole forum to stop that avalanche! Who will help?!
To save them of course. If the cats are avalanche-ing, then it's clear that they won't be able to survive. Also, how could we play with them if they were avalanche-ing?
This is the only way I can contribute to both conversations.:D
I couldn't resist.
