Yeah, but has ESPN gone so far as to trademark the phrase?...Now that's low!

It's like these companies just lay in wait to a popular Urban phrase to come along, then they rush out and add it to their logo's or ad campaigns.. It''s a fuckin shame if you ask me.

Q: Will you ever see admin in a Buick?
A: HELL NO!

Holla

PS: There is a bakery here in Oakland called "It's All Good!" Folks still laught about that name. The bakery is a good one, but to name it It's All Good was a little on the ghetto side (and I think it's black owned)....so I wonder if they can sue Buick?

That is as bad as Kool Cigarettes....an ad in a magazine has diamonds all over the pack and at the top it says,

Playalistic menthol

wtf?
