“Rocktober,” the phrase being used to describe the Colorado Rockies’ stunning playoff run, has been used in newspapers, car commercials, and department store ads, along with one confirmed case of a die-hard fan loudly yelling the slogan upon ejaculation during coitus.No, it wasn’t me. I yell ‘Shazam!’ and then I flex all my muscles at the same time, creating a black hole of awesomeness. Seriously, though, next time you have sex, scream out “ROCK-TOBER!” Then you can pay her. Sadly, all that may be coming to an end. The Rockies’ front office has apparently filed papers with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the catchphrase, giving them sole permission to sell memorabilia bearing that term and cementing their status as assholes.
The article continues,
The filing came two days after Gov. Bill Ritter declared October would be known as “Rocktober” after the Rockies beat the San Diego Padres in 13 innings to win the wild card.
Hopefully the governor didn’t just change the name of October for this year, but for every October in the future. Two hundred years from now, nobody will know what baseball is and dinosaurs will once again rule the world,I think that’s in the Bible somewhere, right before Frodo and Sam sneak into Mount Doom. but the tenth month of the year will still be known as “Rocktober.” Also, humans will probably be extinct. Who could have predicted that cell phones cause brain cancer?
The Rockies need to lighten up. This is like Paris Hilton trademarking “That’s Hot,” or Lou Holtz patenting the letter “S”.
