In the US, everything is trademarked as soon as it is created, though not pursuing the trademark for so long, letting it become a "meme" might be arguable enough that the trademark was abandoned. Maybe. If they can't successfully argue that, the meme guys will probably win.

Kellogg's has no case against the Nyan cat, unless the original art referenced the Kellogg or Pop-Tart names. You can't trade mark a food, which is why you can buy generic Pop-Tarts.

As common sense as it all is... I mean, an aborted fetus is obviously the first thing that jumps into everyone's mind when they see that and know it has human DNA, I'm pretty sure they would have just said "Yup, it's a fetus" if there wasn't any evidence to the contrary.

I'm just curious to see where all of this goes. There has to be a reason that they are putting time, money and effort into studying this.

Their research also said that kneecaps are/were present supposedly, but I'm looking for somewhere that I can find more in-depth/ongoing coverage of their research. This has intrigued me.

EDIT: Found it

While getting ready for school, I look to see if Ghost Writer is sporting the Breast Cancer Awareness name. Sees that appears to be the case. Sadness ensues.
