Default Hells Angels suing Rob Dyrdek

Don't know if this has been posted, but I'll leave it here. I would guess he'll be busting out his check book on this one.

Wish them luck. MTV has sucked for years. They forgot the M stands for music.

I can't see it working out too well in some parts of the country for anyone wearing that emblem. The HA don't take kindly to people wearing their logo & not being actual members.

Trademarking is something I got into several years ago. Not as obvious as one might think. Interesting to watch.

I can imagine some poor little skater dude running around and getting confronted by some 81's about his shirt. Would be interesting.
