Donald Seeks To Trump "You're Fired"
"MARCH 18--Donald Trump, reality TV star and rapacious New York developer, has filed to trademark the phrase sweeping an underemployed nation. That's right, if The Donald gets the nod from The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, he'll be able to exclusively slap the words 'You're Fired' on clothing and 'games and playthings,' and use it in connection with 'casino services.' Along with peddling overpriced apartments, Trump runs some spectacularly underperforming Atlantic City gambling joints. Trump's two trademark applications, which you'll find below, were made after the January 8 debut of 'The Apprentice,' the NBC hit that has thrust Trump (and the alleged billionaire's swirling hairdo) back onto the front pages. We're waiting to see if Trump tries to patent the signature hand motion he uses to dispatch 'Apprentice' contestants. On a related note, a check of trademark records shows that the firm 'You're Outsourced' is still available for the taking."
