Typing :-( is now copyright infringement

This is funny and desgusting all at once. I'm still not sure if this is for real, but it appears so. It's obvious that the intention was partly as protest for a number of things (frivolous lawsuits, commercialization of emotions, etc.). Still...wow. http://www.despair.com/demotivators/frownonthis.html
Don't type any more frownies...it's now illegal.

Re: Typing :-( is now copyright infringement

That's complete and utter BS. these give it away:

1. Despair has also petitioned the court to require defendants to submit a handwritten letter which repeats the phrase ":-( is a registered trademark of Despair, Inc." one-thousand times. A ruling on the petition is expected within a week.

yeah, right

2. only 7m people have used emoticons? BS

if you're still not sure type the supposed lawfirm 'Larkow, Madley & Associates' in google, surprise surprise nothin comes up...

If that bloke recons he is gonna get 7 million people writing out ":-( is a registered trademark of Despair, Inc" 1000 times, he is gonna have another thing coming...

Quote:
Kersten concluded the already baffling conference with yet another surprise announcement. He is seriously considering changing his name from Edward Lawrence Kersten to simply ":-(".
And how do we say his proposed new name?


That second picture looks fake, the dude one the far right doesn't look like he is really part of the picture....
