Swatch Trademarks "One More Thing..."
AmiMoJo writes: It's the famous line Steve Jobs often used on stage to introduce unexpected Apple gadgets since 1999. Of course he wasn't the only one to utter it — TV detective Columbo was catching out criminals with the phrase way back in the 1970s and '80s too. Now Swiss watchmaker Swatch has acquired a trademark on the phrase "one more thing".
not to be confused with frosty piss, the maker apologized that they did not have time to trademark both.
Nothing like abusing a commonly used phrase for gain instead of using innovation and good will.
Oh, One more thing.
This generally results in the failure of a company, people have great disdain for abuse.
One more thing.
Politicians usually lose offices after this too, so hopefully the cronies were already retiring.
One more thing!
Nah, too easy...
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
I think I'm going to trademark "What the Fuck?"
I'll be rich!
