I've been a Kiss fan for a long time, but I swear, Gene Simmons is the Vince McMahon of the rock world. If he can slap a logo on it, he'll go for it. Yes, and he got it from his grandmother; it's apparently some old world thing. It's a gesture meant to ward off "the evil eye" (or malocchio in Italian), which was supposed to be a curse cast by an evil or malevolent glare. For how much people demonized metal music back in the day, its most enduring symbol is actually a protection from evil, not a promotion of it. As the article notes it also has other meanings. When it is directed at someone and swiveled back and forth, you're calling that person a cuckold. Essentially it is a gesture with several meanings going back probably as far as people have had hands. It is goddamn absurd, and whatever lawyer told him this was a good idea needs a time out.

I hope he doesn't get it. Why does he need it anyway? I thought he had a lot of money? Because everybody wants more money, even the richest of the rich want to continue getting money. One thing I will give Gene credit for, at least he's honest about his greed.

Can I copywrite the colour blue then?
Incidentally, a friend of mine who was notorious for talking bollocks, said that Simmons copywritted the dollar syymbol and the american treasury has to pay him millions every year.

You can trademark a color under certain circumstances. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_trade_mark

Also, the way Gene does it with his thumb out is sign language for "I love you." That's what I thought it was.

Didn't Ronnie James Dio state that Gene attempted to sue him for using the "Devil Horns"? Dio, while I am not sure if he was joking or not, also stated that Gene also tried to trademark Orange Juice as well.
