"Situation Nation" does have a nice ring to it...
In an effort to brand the phenomenon Jersey Shore has created, the JS kids have been trying to trademark their nicknames and catchphrases. Shockingly, the Shore crew is not as brilliantly original as we’d previously thought, because they’re running into all kinds of situations.
First off, Pauly wants to trademark his DJ-ing business (we use the term “business” loosely), but some schmuck has had “DJ Paulie” trademarked since 1973.
Snooki can’t catch a break either, since her name is already trademarked in the publishing world under the 2003 children’s book Adventures of Snooky: Under the Sea. We fail to see what the problem is here. Why doesn’t she just team up with the author, agree to re-brand the book with her as the subject, and start a whole Adventures of Snooki franchise?
Mike wanted to sell T-shirts and women’s underwear (um, really?) as part of a line called “Situation,” but a clothing store with the same name already exists. Luckily Mikey’s way with words is just as smooth as his way with the ladies: His backup name is “Situation Nation.” Choice. Evidently the wordsmith of the bunch, he is also trying to trademark his catchphrases “fresh to the death,” “Grenade Free America”, and, of course, the boy’s beauty regimen, “GTL.”
