I remember at the old Circle K over by where Cuchi's Raspados is they used to have one of those multi-video game consoles there that if you did a secret move with the two joysticks you could get a free play.
But back to copyright infringement, here in Oakland you get a lot of black people wearing N Air clothing. Not Nike but just the letter N and air. Some shirts even have the swoosh but it is swooshing in the opposite direction. |

I don't know if anyone has seen this, but right at the border in mex, there is a foot doctor. I don't know what his name is, but the name of his business is:
Dr. Scholl

yeah i've seen those Dragoonball action figures. i've also seen some adidas gear there under the name adiaas. that was pretty disturbing, that people would be interested in adidas gear that much that they'd need bootlegs. |

Screw buying the original. If you can buy an exact copy or even similar item of the original, do it.
On my trip to the land of copy, I bought myself two pairs of shoes that are identical to some originals I bought at full price. The shoes are made exactly the same, even made in the same country, but I didn't have to pay 80% more for them. Only difference is that the uppers are made of synthetic materials, instead of genuine leather*, but it's the same shit.

I'm not sure if this is trademark infringement, but you know Energizer is getting ripped off!
This stealing of ideas and copying of logo's and mascots doesn't just stay at the local level. It goes national in Mexico.
I was watching Mexican television the other day, and a Duracell commercial came on. It was a rabbit that was beating out a bunch of other rabbits because it had a duracell battery.
A rabbit? Come on, that is total Energizer. |

i think it was a shot at the damn "bunny." it was saying, "hey, your rabbit is using our batteries!" at least that's the way i see it. |

La Taverna de Moe. (Moe's Tavern.) |
