AND NOW HE'S DEAD!

140M Knuts is only like 280K Galleons. Doesn't sound so impressive that way.

Ed Willy		2011-06-03 12:11:17 AM

But now what happens now to Knut's brand?

It could still be profitable, but the Berlin Zoo, which owns the rights to Knut's trademark, is being very selective about licensing, choosing to keep Knut's messaging about protecting the environment.

But some feel the zoo - and others who could profit - is losing out.

"A dead Knut brand could still make millions," Birgit Clark, a trademark attorney, said. Whether it does or not is yet to be seen.

You know, with sentiments like that, is it any wonder why Europeans prefer socialism to capitalism?

Farabor		2011-06-03 12:34:48 AM

Just imagine the horror this kind of bear making money could unleash upon the Colbert Nation!

The truth really is scary. It doesn't really surprise me that a zoo is limiting the trademark to environmentally friendly stuff though, it's...a zoo.
