The fatcats who control our nation's secretive paper towel industry are at war with one another, and the lawsuits are flying:
Procter & Gamble Co. filed suit May 8 against Georgia-Pacific in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati alleging bow-tie patterns in new-and-improved Brawny paper towels infringe the trademark bow-tie shapes in the quilts of P&G's Bounty Extra Soft.Jesus, is it really on Wednesday?Brawny's "Great New Look" is "an obvious attempt to trade on the goodwill, reputation and commercial success achieved by Bounty Extra Soft," P&G says in its lawsuit.
First they convince some poor lady that the only way to open a door is by using a paper towel and now this? I wish Obama would leave the banks alone and do something about Big Paper.
Those look like something else that is Soft and Absorbent.
Gees, Bounty costs twice as much. That's how you tell the difference. Oh, and the Brawny lumberjack. I learned this from the hot housekeeper guy I used to be able to afford, who would refuse to use anything but Bounty.
Whatever, Proctor & Gamble. A bow-tie is "purely functional," whether its around my neck making me look cool or on my paper towels mopping up my spilled cocktails. Am I right intellectual property fans?
