Grand Theft Patent
this is too asburd for me not to re-blog.
Just saw the above photo of Rock Star’s new swag box to promote Grand Theft Auto IV and did a double take.
Believe it or not, I invented the giant foam shocker hand in 2004 and actually got a legit US Patent for the stupid thing. Really. So, it looks like Rock Star Games is in violation of United States Patent #D495749S!
Lucky for them, they’re friends of CollegeHumor and one of our biggest advertising clients. Though I must admit a high drama court case over “the shocker” would be a funny thing to see.
