You havent been paying attention kedawa. Listen to how many commercials on the radio talk about winning tickets to "the big game" or super sunday.
Also, I say that games should change from Red Cross health packs to Red Cresent health packs. That should get us another 20 years of nobody bitching about copyright being abused.
Games have had this forever... speak up sooner. Unfortunately, the Red Cross won when it came to changing the packaging to the Sleepaway Camp DVD box set, but I think this is too big for them.
It's not that I haven't been paying attention, I just don't listen to the radio or watch much television.Quote:

I guess they want characters to pick up the health-pack, wait around for a week and then be given a virtual paper-pushing office job?
The NFL isn't going to sue over a flyer. They will sue over a radio ad.Quote:

Blue Cross / Blue Shield is insurance.
Does that matter to a 5 year old?
I think the red cross is basically a Catholic symbol. It's called the "red cross of Jerusalem" when it has four little crosses near the big cross. I think bishops have the red cross on white hats. Rome should sue the Red Cross.
We're Canadian. They don't give a shit what we're doing up here yet.Quote:

If anything the game companies will just throw up a small disclaimer in the legal mumbo jumbo before the game loads saying that the symbol isn't representative of Red Cross nor does it have any affiliation with it, etc, etc.
