Disney Seeks Trademark On 'Seal Team 6' 254
The Grim Reefer2 writes "MediaBistro has learned that the Walt Disney Company has applied for a trademark on the phrase 'Seal Team 6,' the name of the special forces unit that killed the world's most wanted man. Disney now owns the exclusive rights to put Seal Team 6 on 'clothing, footwear, headwear, toys, games and entertainment and education services.' Disney made the move only two days after bin Laden's death was announced."
According to a report in the Orlando Sentinel, "this is not the first time a company has trademarked SEAL Team 6. Previous owner NovaLogic, Inc., abandoned two associated trademarks in 2006. Those trademarks focused on computer and video gaming."

What the do the Israelis know about proper behavior ?
They deserve to be cut loose from US support, period.

Rachel Corrie was a "useful idiot" for the Palestinians and radical Islam who wish to commit genocide against the Jews and carry on Hitler's dream of completely wiping out the Jewish people.
She might as well have been wearing an "American Dupes Support Auschwitz" T-shirt.
She wasn't killed by Israelis. She was killed by her own stupidity & ideological blindness
The Arab countries could have given the Palestinians their own land at any time before Israel was created. They told the Palestinians to get stuffed. But now that there are *gasp* Jews(!!) there, they can't race to support the Palestinians fast enough.
The Palestinians need to STFU before the Israelis decide that they'd rather deal with the ruckus caused by them coming in with tanks, troops, and phalanxes of giant bulldozers and push everything in Gaza and the West Bank into the sea. Frankly, I'd cheer the Israelis on.

Quite so. Even if this unit doesn't exit, the SEALs in general are a part of the US Navy. Disney shouldn't be able to exert ownership rights over something like that. They should get slapped down by the relevant authorities with a big fat "You don't own that!" sort of response.
