trumpy bear? grandkids are here and we are watching comedy central and trumpy bear commercials

[demtenjeep]

jesus Christ what a dumb thing people spend money on

and the dumb acting is so stupid

[jmowreader]

1. My favorite line out of that...

"Trumpy Bear LOVES to go to the golf course!"

They do realize that if the Left was making Obama Bears, the Right would have blown a gasket...but for Trump, a full-blown cult of personality is perfectly fine.

[Maru Kitteh]

2. I still wonder if those bears and/or the adverts aren't secretly made by

enterprising resistance persons making fun of the Trump cult and taking their money. Because the commercials are just incredibly awful.

3. they would need trump's permission to use his likeness for the product

and I can't imagine him not getting a piece of the action regarding that monumentally stupid item.

and yes it des seem like an SNL spoof

[Maru Kitteh]

4. No they don't. He's a public person in a public office. All kinds of hateful Obama dolls

are still on the market. They certainly didn't require his permission and it's perfectly legal. Google Obama doll, see what comes up.

8. The Chia Pet people didn't need permission for Chia Obama.

10. Just because lots of people do it does not make it legal

In general, if you are using the name or image or likeness of a person for commercial purposes you need their permission. Their status as a public person matters for defamation, but not for right of persona/publicity claims. Since these claims are state claims, the details vary from state to state - they may require residency in the state, they sometimes die with the person - but can sometimes be asserted by heirs. Sometimes the right included voice and signature - sometimes not. Commercial use frequently included use by a charity, sometimes not.

5. But, but, it comes with a genuine certificate of authenticity!!!!!!

6. I saw the trumpy bear ads when he got installed

In the White House. It was so disgusting. The only use I can think of for it ...as a chew toy for dogs.

7. You've got something there.

Fill it with treats and leave it at the dog park where it will be promptly dismembered and disemboweled.

9. The Q&A on Amazon for Trumpy Bear is pretty funny

Question:
Can you take it in the rain?
Answer:
Regular rain will ruin Trumpy. Golden showers are totally fine.

Can an eagle soar openly over america? That answer is Yes. But trumpy bear probably won't withstand the rain very well, just like the actual president.

He is basically like a stuffed animal. I wouldn't recommend him being in the rain

Yes but Trumpy only hold the umbrella for himself - extremely selfish Trumpy Bear.
