All those celebrities are just there to further their image and street cred anyway. So not surprised at this. Oh Jay-Z.

Yeah, that's what worries me, and I wondered what the status of the copyright was, while I can appreciate the movement wanting to be open and all inclusive, I would hope someone from the original protests in New York would do something to set up a non-profit to register all of the logos and phrases and even "OWS" just to prevent profiteering.

Here's an update from HuffPo:

Looks like the couple withdrew their bid. A lawyer for the movement has filed to try and prevent this shit happening again, but they've got "competition". Ugh.

Sucks, because his alteration of the original phrase is pretty clever. I like it. Certainly won't be buying one, though.

Maybe this post should include the "you stay classy" tag?

Wow, what a fucking douche!

ICON LOVE.

Have you seen The Immortals yet? Roger Ebert gave it one star, but said it's one of the most beautifully filmed movie he's seen.

Dude, step the fuck off. Seriously. There's a ton of shit out there you can plagiarise repurpose for your own profit, just NOT THIS ONE.
