Drew Curtis wants everyone to calm down…

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. 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 Foobies.com (NSFW™). 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.

Actually, Drew, I never thought you were going to sue anyone out of existence, and I do regularly read Fark, but that doesn’t change the fact that until proven otherwise, your application for a trademark on a phrase you didn’t invent makes you look like an asshole until further notice.

I await being proven wrong.
