Does Jack Black like Grickle? That's pretty cool, you'd think Telltale would feature that more prominently on the site!

Never mind, just realised that was shopped. I think.

Actually, now I don't think it was shopped.

I know that shopped photos can be made to look very real, but this does look very real. So I'm guessing not shopped.

i thought it was shopped because of the white spots and the lightness and pointiness around Jack's left nipple, but I checked the store image and those spots are stars. I can't explain the pointy nipple, though.

Maybe it was cold?

Jack likes Grickle?! Sweeeeeet. My favorite actor is one with Telltale? Meh, you're all probably right. It's shopped, hell it even looks like it shopped; badly I might add.

It's real!

Cool, mr. Black has good taste. I wonder if he has preordered puzzle agent? :)

I'm not a very big fan of Jack Black's films. I enjoyed The School of Rock though. But he's got good taste. He was spotted wearing a Whispering Rock Summer Camp T-shirt (from Psychonauts) too. :D

I liked Kung Fu Panda. But I probably won't go see the sequăl...

Anyway, I don't see Hoover, Xerox, or Google complaining. :rolleyes:

See, I didn't even know 'to hoover' came from a company name.
Maybe Adobe is on to something then, if people that use the verb start to forget the origins...

Google and Xerox have both tried it... not that it helps much, of course.

If companies don't make attempts to protect and enforce their trademarks, then the marks fall into the public domain and are no longer the property of their owners/creators. Most companies get around this problem by creating a generic noun or phrase to describe their products, like Rollerblade inline skates, Kleenex facial tissue, and Xerox copiers.

So Adobe has to make such warnings in order to legally protect the Photoshop trademark.

Rather Dashing 05/18/2010 09:13 am

It's true. Adobe has to care, because if they did not show an "attempt to protect their trademark", the government could allow any image editing software to use the term "Photoshop". It of course seems horribly asinine for regular everyday life, but Kleenex used to be a trademark and now it's not.

The Kleenex mark is still valid, according to the US Patent & Trademark Office.

A canonical example of a genericized trademark is escalator; most people don't know it was a trademark at one time.
