We recently learned that TNOYF’s application for trademark protection for Islamic Rage Boy had been rejected, “because the proposed mark consists of or includes matters which may disparage or bring into contempt or disrepute persons, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols,” according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

“The mark as a whole, stereotypes male Muslims as having an extremist and terrorist-like element (As opposed to the more common Muslim stereotype of a reticent fly-fisherman). Such a meaning is clearly offensive to all Muslims (translation: such a mark is clearly offensive to violent Muslim extremists and effeminate U.S. trademark attorneys. Tell us, you simpering paper-pusher: at what point will it be okay for us to poke fun at those who wish to enroll us in an involuntary “head relocation program?”). One site estimates that there are six to seven million Muslims in the United States (”One site”? I’m sorry, but should you really be Googling census figures? Don’t you work for the government?).A recent poll shows that 96% of American Muslims consider Islam an important factor in their daily lives’ (And another shows that 35% are OK with blowing up non-believers to demonstrate that importance. So if your carefully researched Google numbers are correct, that makes around 2.2 million or so practitioners of the religion of peace who don’t give a flying falafel whether or not you are trying to protect their delicate religious sensibilities; they’ll be happy to see you blown up just the same.).
