Get this. I guy I worked with did small vinyl signs for misc things. And
there was this local event they had every year in his town with big name
sponsers like Coca Cola. But the town needed to get the coke signs made up.
And this guy is the one that did them. But for him to make the coke signs
with the trademarked logo, he had to pay to use the trademark. Even thought
Coca Cola was actually sponsering the event. Crazy shit.
