Dibbs on woot and roflmao

What a Farker

Were I part of Gawker Media's legal department, I'd trademark the word "douchebag" and all derivations and then send a C&D letter to Fark and its subsidiaries.

Because Fark's trademark attempt has all the tell-tale signs of douchebaggery.

I'll take IMO, BRB. And to go all the way, I'll also trademark roflcopter

@Vash21:
SAME HERE!!! ROFLMAO!!!

I have the texting rights to OMG, its derivatives and any and all BFF appellations.

That's is so lame. Greedy fckers.

Seriously, acronyms are left ONLY for teeny bopper girls who LOVE to text message. Remember that Cingular commercial? Perfect example. You're not a dude if you do this girly type of stuff.

I've got dibbs on asdf! XD

who the fawk is Fark? their claim would hold water if every time i saw NSFW i though of Fark - but i dont, so fawk them.

p.s I am copy writing all the words i just used.

Seeing as it's Fark, it's probably an attempt to see if you can trademark just about anything

//It's not IP, it's Fark.com

^--- filing Trademark on NS4W right now. Take that farkers

@omg-ponies:
These guys are next:
[www.bigdouchebag.com]

I'm gonna patent the word "asshole" and sue Fark for being one without my permission!

I've got dibs on SSDD (same s#!t different day) & Hoas (hold on a sec). Seriously though, I think it's just a publicity stunt. For what I'm not sure of but, we are commenting on this so.

I got want FTW!

Quick, patent NWS before they get that too.

@Gigo: if you get roflcopter i get lollerskates!

I have a T-Shirt with NSFW on it. They are a bit late to the game to enjoy the after party.

I am getting rights to LOLWTFBBQ and RICKROLL'D.

@aaj111: LOL! *waits for a lawsuit* I forgot OMGWTFBBQ. :D

Dibs on roflbbq

to many patents flying round here! But have you all sent in for them yet?... AH HA Beat you to it! Nah just messing with you ;) Them boys crazy if the think the internets can be copyrighted.

I'll have Fries with that and extra Cheese Please!...

dibs on TFSU and all cat pictures

@ESPADAUNO: If it is a publicity stunt, they'd better fire the marketing guy.... publicity stunts are supposed to generate business, not p*ss off the entire potential customer-base!

Can I patent/copyright the entire alphabet. All 26 letters (and the numbers too) and all derivations and combinations thereof.

Thanks

Not only is there previous art, it's all over the internet. It should be denied just because he can't control it anymore.

Oh, and he's a douchebag too.

@professor: Well, they do say that there's no such thing as bad publicity. I agree though. What a way to turn off potential customers.

i have dibs on "sex" and "www" and everything in the dictionary. Yes I know I'm not using acronyms.

@NaughtyBitsGLiF: The internets are serious business. *trademarks*

This is kind of sad. I used to be a huge Farker, even ponied up the $5/month for about two years. I had always felt that they were "counter culture", and good at what they do. Unfortunately, the culture in TotalFark changed and I started to drift away to other sites.

I went back a month or two ago and just found a lot of crass. Maybe my nostalgia goggles were on tight, but I don't remember that much when I was there. (There was a lot of snark, but it seemed to be in general good fun.)

The fact that they took a move like that, which to me seems like a douchebag (ha) move, just makes me all the more reluctant to ever go back to Fark. In all likelyhood, any stories submitted about it there are probably ignored/deleted, and anyone raising a ruckus banned. They like to keep a tight ship, but sometimes too tight.

I'm trademarking "You're a complete bunch of total fucking idiots", and then I'll make T-shirts in celebration (with the newly trademarked phrase) to send to the "brains" at fark!

Sounds good to me.

Jack-u Bauer!

Can i kick this guy?

I heard that dude on a radio interview for his book tour on a morning show. boo. guy's a total douche, and this proves without a doubt.
I kinda like fark. kinda.
i trademark everything on everyone else's blogs especially the pedobear.

@DJJS: permission granted.

ZOMG HAXORZ = Mine

shotty the suffix 'z0rz' and the number '1337'

Seriously though, they can't be serious.

I think I'd patent WTF. So whenever another company decides to come up with a brilliant idea like this, I'd be able to say, without being sued for patient infringement, "WTF?" No, seriously, "WTF?"

With patents, they are invalid if you can demonstrate prior works. Not sure if anything like that exists for trademarks.

hate to play the grammar gestapo, but NSFW is an abbreviation, not an acronym. Acronyms are pronounceable abreviations (like SCUBA).

I will soon own all the rights too "!!!1!!ONE!!11!" and any derivatives Roman, Arabic, or otherwise.

I will be made rich by your enthusiasm, Internets.

@jwszoid: "neessffewwaaa,"

but nsfw.com already exists

@strider_mt2k: Try it and I think Tazz and Vince McMahon will want a word with you...

/I was so very confused when I first kept seeing FTW pop up online.

Ha! LOLCATZ and any variations, derivative is mine. As well as any picture which has been affiliated with said caption. I'm tempted to claim all cats in pictures as well. Also anything that carries the caption "Im in your _____ ____ing ur ______".

I also claim RTFM.

@jwszoid: Definition of acronym from Meriam-Webster dictionary: "... a word (as NATO, radar, or laser) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term; also : an abbreviation (as FBI: initialism ..."

Oh Fark...

FGS FDS

You can't have it. It belongs to anonymous.

Good grief. What a complete waste of time. They won't even get close. Morons, all of them.

Those dastardly Columbian rebels! This is just like that movie Collateral Damage. Oh, wait, Fark? I thought you meant FARC.

I'm staking a claim on lollercoaster and lollerskates.

Looks like Drew Curtis already has the trademark rights to male pattern baldness.
