Fair & Balanced, Round II
From Neal Pollack:
This Friday, August 15, is Fair And Balanced day on the Internet. You are all hereby instructed to use the words Fair And Balanced in very creative ways on your various websites. My cosponsor in this effort, Atrios, informs me that many of you are already using "Fair And Balanced" in your taglines. Very good. Sometimes, I swear you don't even need instructions from me. But we can go further. Tell Fox News to take its Fair And Balanced slogan and shove it up its Fair And Balanced hole. Feel free to be more subtle than that, if you wish. To repeat. This Friday is Fair And Balanced day. Use the slogan at will. I will not be keeping track of the uses on this site, because it made me tired last time, but I still trust that you will spread the virus in funny and creative ways. We cannot let Fox News beat us, people. If they sue one, they can sue all. Al Franken has resources. Fox News' next victim might not be so lucky.

I think they’re making a big mistake!! They only registered as a trademark "Fair & Balanced", not Fair and Balanced. Why would they register that anyway? Sounds like an oxymoron with Fox News.

Hey, there. I've trademarked the word "oxymoron," bub. You'd better stop using it or I'm gonna sue ya!

Theo,
Warning - I just locked down the trademark on the word 'trademark.' My lawyers will be faxing in the morning.

They are also trying to trademark Fair. Balanced. Unafraid.
