Description of idea: During the last war in Iraq I learned from
MediaGuardian.co.uk that "Sony wants to launch a computer game called
"Shock and Awe", having filed an application to register the defining
phrase of the coalition's military campaign as a trademark in the US"
and that it "applied to register the term as a trademark with the US
Patent and Trademark Office on March 21 - just one day after war
started."
I started imaging what could happen if the big multinational
corporations would realize ads about what they did or would have liked
to do in Iraq during the last conflict.
