Brickbat: That Takes Balls

Comfyballs

That Takes Balls Since starting in Norway last year, men's underwear maker Comfyballs has introduced its product to Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom with no problem. But when it applied for a U.S. trademark, the government refused to grant it, ruling that the name Comfyballs is vulgar.

Love the comments.

I think manatee might be Tulpa.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Aw, nuts.

I guess SF will never be able to trademark the name Doomcock of Doom. So much for the merchandising...

[Swiss Servator, Winter kommt!]

I am sure Warty could help SF "persuade" the trademark office to let that one go through.

[SugarFree]

The best I could do was "Doomschmenis of Schmoom.

You know who else was opposed to comfortable scrotums?

[invisible furry hand]

Theodore Roosevelt?

[Steve G]

Jezzies?

[AdamJ]

Dang, that lady kicked THROUGH his balls. Quite effective
!

[AdamJ]

Certainly not Lyndon B Johnson.

[Swiss Servator, Winter kommt!]

Perfect!

You should ask, you know who else had comfy balls because his scrotum was tinier?

Ow, my balls!

Is there a company called "big ass ham"?

[Ted S.]

Who needs an ass-fan anyway?

[Roger the Shrubber]

Exactly. Ban them.

[Spoonman.]

Good thing those prudish Republicans aren't in charge.

[An Innocent Man]

Wait! I thought IP was property? So, calling my own property a name you don't like (ala Redskins) means it somehow isn't my property? Hope they don't find out my name for my old crappy car.They might have to not let me keep it.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

It's harder to enforce your trademark if it's not registered, but you can still (IIRC) ask the courts to enforce it.

Land of the free.

Home of the brave now specifically refers to bureaucrats protect Americans through prevention.

Clearly, they have us by the spheroids

"What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even as it removes the smallest thorns from my path, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life; if it monopolizes vitality and existence to such a degree that when it languishes, everything around it must also languish; when it sleeps, everything must also sleep; and when it dies, everything must also perish?"

Damn... that Frenchie knew the score.

Rereading "Democracy in America" after a 30+ year hiatus. AdT was remarkably prescient, but then, being an historian, he was already keenly aware of the failure modes of experiments in governance and freedom.

[sarcasmic]

The Puritans are still in charge.

[Aresen]

I don't think they ever left.

In the 60s and 70s, censorship morphed from "In the name of God" to "in order to protect the children."

The powers that be always want us to be their children.

[DWC]

That's alright. I still have my ballroom jeans.

[Rich]

So, ballroom dancing == pocket pool?

[Rich]

I have already suggested "Comfytesticles". Surely no one could object to *that*.

[Seamus]

I think the name "Buckyballs" is free now.

[AlmightyJB]

I want my balls to be comfy (just not cumfree). Why does the US Government hate my Big Balls?

"...the name Comfyballs is vulgar."

I believe that was the point. Or near the point.

[jmomls]

Let me get this straight: it's okay to hang testicles off your big stupid truck--that's just fine, the kids can see those.

And it's okay to call a flavor of ice cream "schweddy balls" [oh, the hilarity, right liberals?]--that's okay if the kids see AND EAT that stuff.

But THIS? This is RIGHT OUT.

Idiotic.

[John Thacker]

Actually, there are state legislators who have tried to ban Truck Nutz or whatever they're called.
