cation by an organization calling itself the First Independent Church of Scientology, which was denied a trademark because it was deemed an infringement of the Church of Scientology's existing trademark. Among the arguments made in the response is that "scientology" is now a generic term. A BYOB thread was cited in support of this claim (the thread starts on page 89 if you don't want to read the rest)

there once was a scientologist lawyer who lurked BYOB,
who browsed shitposts on the job.
he exclaimed with a grin,
"with this thread, i can win!"
i'd quite like to meet him, that scientologist lawyer who lurked BYOB.

in case you don't get that, a website called bodyforwife.com is also cited as why scientology is a generic term, because of an article entitled "paleo is the scientology of diets." If you like that article you might also like another article from bodyforwife.com: "gently caress You and Your Cargo Shorts Hate"

[1]Kwanzaa: The Scientology of Holiday - Conservative Outfitters
[2]Libertarianism: The Scientology of Politics - YouTube
[3] The Scientology of Crossfit | Adam Berke | LinkedIn
[4]Paleo is the Scientology of Diets | Body for Wife
[5]Giodano Memorization System (GMS) - The "Scientology of memory ...
[6] The Beatles: The Scientology Of Pop - The Afterword
[7] The scientology of pizza - The Something Awful Forums

Plebian Parasite

if you'll look at exhibit b, scientology is common enough to be considered, a 'generic term', as you can see from all these forums and linkedin profiles that negatively compare it to dumb and pointless things or mistakenly used the word instead of simply putting 'science'.

i'm in awe at the artofmemory forums, can you imagine being so superhuman at knowing what happened?

HOOKED ON THE BROTHERS
imagine while doing your research for a trademark denial you come across a forum with weird animated sigs like a disgusting nurse mummy woman waving at you and decide this is good material for your paper, and also imagine that that actually happened in the Silent Hill movie

also everything else in that thread

Putty fucked around with this message at 03:02 on May 29, 2017

google THIS

I hope this makes it to court somehow and someone is asked to read the thread aloud, on record.

This should be a lesson to BYOB lurkers everywhere. Always Just Post! I didn't post in that thrad, and I missed my one chance at fame in the jurisprudencial realm.
