Father Luke who has the God Squad logo on the side of his car is being challenged by Best Buy and apparently he is caving. Best Buy is claiming they have the copyright on the logo because of their Geek Squad.
I hope the good father stands them down. I have been saying ‘God Squad’ (albeit somewhat disrespectfully) for decades–long before Best Buy was invented. I think he should keep the name and have the actual logo, the insignia part look different and be done with it.
Best Buy shouldn’t be able to trump God and they don’t own the word ‘squad.’
Maybe he should turn to Islam, then no one would dare to complain!
That Sharia law does it every time?
I just think Best Buy has a nerve. And I am a tremendous separation of church and state person.
I don’t follow the first comment. Complaining about everything associated with Islam seems to be an extremely popular activity.
“God Squad” could also be a takeoff on “Mod Squad”
(yeah, I’m showing my age here)
Since when can you copyright “God”?
I loved that show.
Scout, I think it is the combination of the mosque near ground zero and the approaching 9th anniversary. I am just glad the focus isn’t totally on AZ. I can’t even bring myself to look my my favorite wild flowers of AZ photos.
Emma, I agree. I am not one who usually falls down on the side of religion but I am on the God Squad side this time. The priests need to tell Best Buy to ‘Bite me.’ I could understand if they were selling a product. But God? Give me a break.
Ha ha. I’ll play the devil’s advocate. The logo is too similar. It’s all part of defending your trademark. The priest could have had a square shaped logo and different type.
I don’t disagree, actually. They need to keep God Squad and make the logo look a little different. But I am all over them keeping the name God Squad.
