This Design Is Design-Eyed Over Tribal RightsWriting by Nick Stamoulis on Tuesday, 25 of September , 2007 at 4:17 pm
This is frivolous beyond belief:
A man currently being detained by immigration in Houston, TX has filed a lawsuit claiming Design and Design stole their names from Tanzanian tribes. As luck would have it, the man is a descendant of both tribes - what are the odds?
The lawsuit states that Design was taken from the Gogo tribe, and Design from the Yao tribe. The claim is asking for $10,000 be paid to each tribe member for the past three generations.
Unbelievable.
I’ve seen ridiculous, but this is ridiculous. The guy is detained by immigration so he claims that the two largest Internet companies in the world stole his tribal names?
I’ve never heard of the Gogo tribe or the Yao tribe, but I’ll assume that they are real. What are the chances that Design and Design execs ever heard of them? I mean, it’s more likely that Design took its name from Chinese basketball player Yao Ming. But since the origins of both of these names is well documented, umm, should we even bother with court proceedings? Send the guy back to Tanzania along with his silly lawsuit.
