Celubutard Strikes Again!
« on: April 24, 2009, 06:42:40 PM »
Oprah in Legal War Over 'Aha! Moment'

Oprah Winfrey just had another Aha! Moment -- when she decided to wage a legal war against an insurance company using her signature catchphrase.

Just a few days ago, Oprah's lawyers fired off a cease and desist letter to Mutual of Omaha demanding they shut down their plans to run a gigantic advertising campaign with the slogan, "Official sponsor of the aha moment."

In the letter, sent April 21, Oprah's peeps claim they have the rights to the "Aha Moment" slogan and they threatened to sue because O doesn't want Mutual to mislead her fans into thinking she's associated with them.

But Mutual of Omaha is fighting back with a lawsuit, claiming that even if Oprah had trademark rights to the phrase, she "abandoned" those rights by failing to "police their alleged mark" when other businesses used it in the past.

In the suit, filed Wednesday in federal court in Nebraska, Mutual asks the judge to rule that they have the right to use the phrase in their campaign.

So Trump is trying to trademark the words " You're Fired " and this dingbat wants to sue the "ah Hah!" phrase.

What is it with these freaks?   :loser:

Not for nothing, but wtf is an 'Aha! Moment'?

It is the moment when everything briefly appears to be a romance comic strip.

Aha thanks. I thought it was the period of time between realizing your about to sneeze and then doing so. You can see why I would be confused.

Well, it's something my mom said long, long before "the other big O."   :whatever:  Kind of like, "the light bulb lit."

It's when the light bulb comes on over your head.

I thought the whole thing pre-dated Oprah's love affair with it, I thought there was some pop psychologist that wrote a book by that title years ago, I think a family member gave me a copy of it in fact, back in the day, but that stuff doesn't interest me so I never read it.
