Uhg.....am I the only one that thinks giant coorparations and celebritys should not have the right to trademark something that is in common use already and that they in no way invented?

This reminds me that Marvel used to have a trademark over the word "Zombie", but it was so hard to enforce those rights (because it's a word of common use) that they just abandoned it after 20 years. They instead trademarked "Marvel Zombie" to defend their zombie lineup of comics, that was way easier to defend.
