we need bandaids that look like the medal Bush didn't win

[Hamlette]

but was shown wearing the the photograph Walt Starr found.

Or better still, the "medal" or something that looks like it. Someone asks what it is you can tell them its a distinguished award Bush wears but didn't win so I guess we can all wear them!

1. The band-aids should say AWOL, or should show the

chickenhawk medal I have seen posted here.

Band -Aids with a big Zero on them.

2. Band -Aids with a big Zero on them.

3. Band-Aids Can Say "When Bush Leads America Bleeds"

[Myrina]

4. No, because it is a trademark infringement

...and the makers are probably going to pimp slap the purple heart crew real quicklike.

Have a look at the other threads that have been contacting bandage makers all day ....

We gotta keep it legal.

[Hamlette]

7. that's silly

There is no trademark infringement unless you call them by a trademarked name (band-aids, for instance.) You can buy custom printed bandages, you can probably buy custom printed Band-Aids. I don't get what the fuss in the other threads are about.

Trust me, it's legal.

9. If one uses J&J or Curad or 3M products

and alter them without the comapny's permission to make it look like it's 'the original product' and distribute or sell it - which metrospy intends to do - it's trademark infringment and it's illegal.

I USED TO WORK IN TRADEMARK LAW, TRUST ME.

12. important to note that that's because bandaids are so distinctive...

...and that it's a close call whether that's the case. If all band-aids look alike, and you personalize one of the many kinds, there's no infringment. Eg, Haines can't sue you if you print your logo on their white T-shirt and sell them. You're even allowed to mention that it's a Haines T-shirt. What you can't do is call it the "Haines Purple Heart" T-shirt in a way that suggests that Haines is selling the shirt.

5. We should hand out those little yellow marshmallow peeps

with W labels on them.

[John_H]

6. That's perfect! "the what the hell is that?" might at least

get the hoes asking a few questions!

[BootinUp]

8. A cake in the shape of Iraq for "cakewalk"

[AP]

10. No. We need band-aids labeled "GOP Health Care"

[jimshoes]

11. I've been thinking of those plastic wings they give kids

at the airlines to signify the wings awol lost his right to wear. They look quite similar.

[AirAmFan]

13. Or awards * DID win, like the Pabst Blue Ribbon, the Jack Daniels label,

or maybe a little glassine envelope full of white powder.

[JLFinch]

14. Write A W O L on a band aid and wear it

[Francine Frensky]

15. Ummm, you people are missing the point: it's INJURY related

the bandaid thing indicates a small injury.

What we need is something mocking W's lousy performance as president.
