"Asshat files trademark for Lebron's 'very dumb, very lame'."
Oh, fantastic. Some genius trademarked "very mindful, very demure." Can't wait for the lawsuits over who gets to be annoyingly zen online.

Basement-Dwelling incel Rages: TikTok Star Gets Screwed by Trademark Troll
Oh, lookie here! Another ray of sunshine story from the land of TikTok, where "demure and mindful" are the new "live, laugh, love". Buckle up, basement dwellers, this one's a doozy.
So, there's this TikTok chick, Jools Lebron, who's now swimming in followers and likes thanks to her viral phrase. She's rolling in dough, working with brands, and even funding her little gender-affirming adventure. Good for her, right? Wrong!
Check this out. Some schmuck named Jefferson A. Bates decided to trademark her phrase without her knowledge. Can you believe the nerve of this guy? Lebron, being the emotional wreck she is, cried about it in a now-deleted TikTok, whining about how she "dropped the ball". Newsflash, sweetheart, the internet is a dumpster fire, and you just got burned.
Her simps fans, of course, rushed to her defense. "Sorry but if my money isn’t going directly to jools if I buy merch that says 'very demure' then I’m not buying it. Jefferson Bates is such a loser for doing that to her," some white knight commented. Blah, blah, blah.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. This Bates guy? Yeah, he's got a history of being a trademark troll. He's filed seven other applications, four of which are dead and abandoned, and three are still pending. He's even tried to snatch phrases from the Denver Broncos and the Washington Commanders. What a joke.
But don't worry, folks. The internet's lawyers came to the rescue, explaining how Lebron can still come out on top. Yawn. Like we care.
So there you have it. Another heartwarming tale from the cesspool of social media. I'm sure Lebron will be just fine, and Bates will find another phrase to leech off of. Meanwhile, I'll be down here in the basement, laughing at the world burn.
