Am I the only one who smells a rat here? Momodot is having you on, folks. Swiftly, no, and yes, TSZ was translated long before Superman hit the rags, witness Shaw's use of the term in a title. It would an interesting investigation to see how Germany Aryanism tickled the comic artist's fancy, by the way. OF course, Neitzsche failed to register his coined word (Uebermensch), so he's, if I may say without treading on trademark, "Shit out of luck." Personally, I hope any corporation that expects to be treated like a person gets VD. Remember VD? Something nasty like clap, with yellow gunk in their corporate underwear. Or maybe pox, complete with rotting corporate noses and eventual dementia. The IP laws don't protect individuals, they "protect" corporations after they have ripped the individuals off. Swift was paid 50 pounds for Gulliver's Travels. The marketers made all the profits. I want to trademark "Fuck 'em." I respect the IP of creative people trying to make a living. Corporations are just the predators we try to avoid while we eat their eggs and excreta. M
