Raygun explains decision to trademark name and shut down comedian's musical
Raygun explains decision to trademark name and shut down comedian's musical
The Olympic breaker says she had been "blindsided" by the musical and only heard about it through media reports.
Raygun: dishonestly positions herself to take the stage at histories largest physical competition on the international stage. Guaranteeing her chance to take the public eye and leave a mark on history and on the social zeitgeist.
Raygun: fails spectacularly, marking history and leaving behind a special legacy socially.
World: lmao wow
Raygun: it's not fair for you to make social commentary because I didn't do as well as I thought I would.
Get fucked, rayray. You made your bed and now you can sleep in it.
Some idiot online: Posts a complete fantasy retelling of this woman's experience and thinks he's funny for it.
A company tried to copyright HER image. She didn't lie about anything. The first Olympic breakdancing went great, go watch the earliest MMA matches or child pageants.
You're being told how to think by the news and accepting it at the cost of sounding pretty misogynistic, which I don't say lightly. Either you mock this woman cause you're a corporate boot licking asshole or you go "ha woman bad" like there's no other position.
And all for what? an Internet laugh? Grow up idiot.
this is getting to hawk tuah levels of stupidity
I'm sympathetic, because if I embarrassed myself that bad I'd also want it to go away. But this ain't gonna make it go away lmao
Yeah, she's kinda Streisand-ing herself... And if she takes it to court, she might Lehrmann herself....
I missed this piece from a few days ago.
Raygun’s claim against a parody musical may not stand up: here’s what the law says
I only heard about it when I opened Reddit and half my front page was mocking her
Trying to copyright a kangaroo hop is going to be funny. I'm pretty sure we did that in PE in prep or grade 1. Not to mention, y'know, the fact there's 30-80 million (depending on whose guess you trust) animals out there doing it every day
I meant I missed the analysis published on The Conversation that I linked. I heard about the shutting down of the musical and saw the news about Gunn's latest insta post. Her response seems kinda 'How do you do, fellow kids' and at first I thought it was hilarious in a 'gift that keeps on giving' kind of way but then I realised it's just sad.
Wait what? They're not paying their license fees? Arrest those filthy law breakers!
Oh okay, you wanna trademark the single most efficient leg-based locomotion system in the animal kingdom? What's next, wheels? You want the rights to all wheels, as well? What else? Sure, you invented water, that's fine.
I can explain it hell even Mr Krabs can explain it without listing to this clown
MONEY
And Raygun's career bids a fond farewell to the world.
how can she trademark a dance move? The word "raygun" on its own is already shaky
I know you've deleted this, but if you're still wondering, the answer is she can't. But ego and money often makes people ready to try stupid things
@Baku #thechaser DEFO nomination!
Good I'm happy for her she seems genuine and the world is such a shit place
There are many better break dancers in Australia but her and her partner lied and manipulated to get into the the Olympics and made a complete joke about what should be been a serious event.
The claim that she cheated her way into the Olympics has been widely disproven: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/australian-breakdancer-raygun-olympics/
She seems the exact opposite of genuine to me.
Routine was fake af
Seems being the operative word here
I think she's good at seeming
Nah straight up this women doesn't deserve any of this flak and at this point people still memeing on her are fuckin dweebs
