Why do that? Its free advertising whenever someone uses it. [/quote]
\"Can you hear me now...good!\" is likely a licensed slogan now. I mean, the cell phone guy even does his spiel during NBA halftime outros. So, if Whammy! wants to use that phrase, they would have to give Verizon some dough to use it. And it would make no sense whatsoever to pay another company just so you can use their slogan for one measly whammy, not when you have 99 more whammies to choose from. It's just not feasible, and it's a waste of time.
I could go on, but I don't have my Media Law book on me. :-)
