Due to trademark reasons, we do not allow advertisers to use 'anyway' in their Google AdWords ads. This term may be trademarked either for a certain product or service category and may apply only in certain countries.

Oh F#ck me...

You can't use the word "anyway" in a Paid Advertisement?

While funny at first, this is retarded. Although I lost 3 domains
this past year over trademarks. Everyone gets their panties in a bunch.

Haha, Although this would be expensive to do (I imagine, not sure) why not
just trademark every domain as the big boys do? I could see quite a mess
in the future coming of this. (Shakes his head) ...anyway

Goodbye adult competition!

I plan on trademarking the words: who, what, when, where & why

As well as the letters: a, e, i, o, u

And I plan on trademarking thoughts, too. Don't even THINK about having a thought without having to pay me a commission Mister!

Now get to work! :whip:
