I did a little digging today and much to my surprise, I could find no record of copyright for the word, and idea of ‘God.’ Nor were there any pending patents or registered trademarks using ‘God’ either. Wow, you’d think the church would have figured out the marketing potential years ago!
That’s it. I’m putting everyone on notice - as of today the word and concept of God© and all it’s meanings are now mine. I‘m also claiming Yahweh©, Jehovah©, Theos©, Allah©, Jumala©, Kami©, Gud©, Krishna©, Vishnu©, Shiva©, Ganesha©, Zeus©, King of Kings©, Lord of the Hosts©, the Holy Ghost©, The Man Upstairs©, Oh My God©, God Dammit©, Thank God©, For God’s Sakes!©, God Bless©, God Forbid©, God Help You©, God Willing©, and May God Have Mercy on Your Soul©. I’m sure I’ve forgotten quite a few there, but I’ll make sure the lawyers sew it all up for me in the next few weeks.
You All Owe Me a Gazillion Dollars
I plan on following the lead of the RIAA. What a shining example of how efficiently our legal system can bring the great unwashed masses to their knees. You unenlightened pagans have no right stealing my ideas. If you use my intellectual properties without express written consent (and wads of cold cash), I’m going to sue your asses into oblivion. If you share my IP with others, I’ll take you to court too. By sharing, I mean leaving the word of God out there in the open where others might read it without paying for it. I know ideas are useless unless shared, but I’m going to sue - just because I can.
- By my estimation, the churches of the world owe me trillions. I will easily rake in billions every Sunday and on all the religious holidays - God is Great!© In an effort to stem their losses, churches will be forced underground and set up websites with hip, yet ridiculous, made-up names. Look out for domains like “GodzillaTorrent.com”, “BabbleBible.net,” or “Hellfirewire.org.” (note to self: must register these domain names today!)
- Soul music will become the new cash cow.
- Meters and rootkits will be installed on every copy of the Holy Bible, Koran, and Torah. Monthly subscriptions fees and pay-per-use schemes will be implemented immediately. Hackers who disable or uninstall my devices will be sent directly to hell.
- Buddhists don’t believe in God© so they’ll be of little use to my marketing plans. Until such a time as I can profit from their beliefs, we’ll make every effort to have them marginalized in the media and ostracized by their peers. There’s no such thing as a free ride, people!
Not bad for a day’s work. All I have to do is sit and wait for the cheques to start rolling in while real artists and creators do the dirty work of paying for my next vacation.
