Nike 'Foxes' AirFist![]() Tiger Woods, spokesperson for Nike, said, "The use of the word 'Air' in the title 'AirFist' violates Nike trademarks. We believe the authors were irresponsible in not contacting us before releasing the patch. Further computer game patches incorporating the word 'Air' must be licensed with Nike." When asked why AOL's famous "Air Warrior" game had been allowed to operate, Woods admitted, "Well. . . we didn't want to talk to Steve Case. AOL just sucks." ![]() "I understand why all these companies get so mad when people break copyright law and abuse their trademarks," muttered John C. a computer programmer from Dallas, TX. "I just wish they didn't have to take it out on the Quake community. Maybe they could find an excuse to sue MPlayer instead." Stephen H., maintainer of a popular Quake page, questioned Nike's motives. "I think they're just trying to get in on the action," he said. "They don't want Fox to get rid of all the good patches out there before they can ban any." Bob, a janitor who wouldn't volunteer his last name, snarled angrily, "I'll go paint their shoes brown. Greaseballs." Nike's legal department, claiming "The sweatshop thing doesn't make us enough money," is contemplating further trademark-violation action against every human on Earth. If successful, people would be required to stop breathing. |
