Popular Post greenchair Posted January 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2015 On a side note. My son's English book was discussing the beginning of countries. It had the topic of government. I asked him. What does government mean? The army working for the king he said. The next word was citizen. Who do you think citizens are? Son: they are the people who work for the army. I asked my son. Do you know the happy song.? Yes, and then he sang it to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildragon Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Disney, Warner Bros, Hello Kitty, Angry birds etc etc. If lawyers from these companies came to the school I used to work out (hell, and loads of other schools in Thailand) they'd have a heart attack.

Popular Post Robby nz Posted January 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2015 You do realize that this is all part of the conspiracy against the shins by the rich BKK elite, the military junta, Suthep and everyone else who doesn't support them don't you. Possibly this failed PT politician should have stuck with their own brand and made it a hallo Yingluck resort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say; I really felt for the pilot....bet he doesn't post many pics of himself with his airplane on Facebook.

Many characters were plastered all over the windows, walls, ceilings I don't think their lawyers would have much interest in a non-commercial use of their trademarked characters. In the case of a Hello Kitty Hotel, the hotel operator is using the goodwill and branding developed by Sanrio and profiting from its unauthorized use. If the hotel gains a bad reputation, it would damage Sanrio's branding. This failed PTP politician is in for a world of hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say; I really felt for the pilot....bet he doesn't post many pics of himself with his airplane on Facebook. At least it was authorized/sanctioned by Hello Kitty (Sanrio). Tons of stuff sold in Thailand's markets probably isn't licensed by the copyright owners, but that never got in the way of business here in The Magic Kingdom.

It's a good brand. Wifey and kids have decked her car out inside with HK merchandise. Never worries me when I drive it. I saw a very fit lady at Qatar airport, in a very tight figure hugging black burqa trimmed with silver and gold lacing on the front. On the back was a very large Hello Kitty all shiny and high quality embroidery. Never seen so many men of many different nationalities gobsmacked by a mincing Hello Kitty before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
