Thought about the trademark when I was making it. But it's a comparison thing. Social commentary and all.
I thought about making it generic, but I didn't really think it was that big a deal. I also downloaded the picture from the internet. It's probably copyright infringement to boot. Perhaps I'll pull it before I go live because I'm afraid of the consequences of my illegal actions. It's happened before. In fact, I think I will. I believe the righteous rant I was writing that I probably won't post, and your comments may have cured me of my Coca Cola addiction and I might even quit smoking as well. No more Reeses either! I don't think I want to give them any more money.
