The baseball imagery isn’t the mystery for my son who met him at the fieds during soccer season. It was the choice of coloring which is very much like the Giants’.

Hence the baseballs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusing_similarity

It requires a full context analysis, not merely visual. Parodies of McDonalds, WalMart, and other companies are used in political satire and commentary all the time. The issue is whether you are causing confusion, as in suggesting that the shoes you are selling are Nikes by using a logo with a similar appearance and spelling it Nikies or something which could generate confusion.

I don’t think that’s present here.

My teacher that year was not impressed with Doug and let me know that wasn’t a valid reason to be home. I was too young to know if 5 nukes north of the Yalu would have helped. From what i’ve seen the Bohnballs are on a lot of he same Hooked on Bass places. Hooked on Bohnballs…has a ring to it. I think Limbaugh was doing Bohnballs.
