Politics About that NSFW trademark application









1) Yes, we applied for it.



2) Can't comment on the prank angle other than "stay tuned."



3) Muhahaha.



I've gotten a few email complaints about the NSFW trademark ap. It bears mentioning that I received 10x as many complaints about the DealNews ad with the picture of some guy's ass in it (removed already, whoever over at DealNews thought that was a good idea needs to be punched in the face), and 100x as many complaints when we moved all the boobies links over to



I'm guessing the complaints are from people who don't read Fark, otherwise they'd know our end goal couldn't possibly be suing everyone using NSFW out of existence.



So far, this one is my favorite:



About the NSFW Trademark Application, I can say three things:1) Yes, we applied for it.2) Can't comment on the prank angle other than "stay tuned."3) Muhahaha.I've gotten a few email complaints about the NSFW trademark ap.

There's an interesting yet unsurprising cross section of the priorities of an Internet audience for you.I'm guessing the complaints are from people who don't read Fark, otherwise they'd know our end goal couldn't possibly be suing everyone using NSFW out of existence.So far, this one is my favorite:



How about you stop being dick heads and leave acronyms you didn't create alone. don't fark up the internet by being cock licking monkey farkers. If you go around trademarking things like NSFW then you WILL screw the internet up for everyone else you greedy ass sucking granny douching shiat eaters.



You make me so angry!





To sum up the conclusions of the above email:



1) We're ruining the Internet. All of it, apparently. At this rate we'll have to go back to mailing each other letters and watching network TV. EVERYBODY PANIC



2)Thanks to that last sentence, the voice in my head representing the author is Steve Urkel.



3) From the writing style, I can only conclude the author is German, mainly due to the phrase "granny douching shiat eaters". No doubt it's available on Amazon with english subtitles, along with a note that people who purchased this item also purchased "cock licking monkey farkers". Additionally, I can't tell whether or not the adjective "cock licking" modifies the word "monkey" or "farkers" because depending on which it was you could make two completely different movies.





An aside: apologies for the late response on this, I was traveling all week and pretty much drunk the entire time. I try to make a habit of not logging in while under the influence (damn you eBay).



The real problem was I accidentally left my laptop charger at home. I was trying to save battery power. Until this happened I had never before thought of using this excuse, it's a keeper.



I'm home now so I can recharge both myself and the battery before the final trip of the year. I'll be in NYC Thursday doing random christmas stuff, Atlanta Friday to go to the Fark TV Christmas party, and home til 2008 as of Saturday.
