Look at some of the shirts this dumb ass is selling on ebay.

WTF? What a moron

Your Life Made of Stone??? Item # 150266364978 and then he has a steaming pile of dung on a shirt for Half Full??? Item # 150266364737

"Your life made of stone". Heh. You think he would take the time to get the lyrics right before he printed out knock-off t-shirts!
Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

But his heart don't seem to roam......

    The language is common and is used in everyday life. For example, North, South, Just do it, and cola.

    Just do it is not a trademark. It is a slogan. Therefore, it could never be used as trademark.

    I get that he can use common words in the English language and not get busted.

    I didn't think he was aloud to use Pearl Jam or Light Years in his title. (Or any song for that matter)

    Thought they referred to that as key-word-spamming.

    A unique phrase can also be trademarked in appropriate situations if it distinguishes the product or service line clearly to the consumer world. “Just do it” is a phrase that is not unique or abstract in and of itself. When applied to Nike advertising and media, however, it is distinct and tells the consumer the product being supplied is from Nike. As a result, the phrase can be trademarked
