Mariah Carey trying to trademark ‘Queen of Christmas’ is a Scrooge move. No celebrity should be allowed to own and control common words and phrases and numbers and dates. Opinion by vinaymenon
I bet if you broke into her palace tonight, you’d find a decorated balsam fir twinkling in the living room and stockings on the mantle. Then you’d get tased by burly security in elf hats and black out in the stench of peppermint bark.
For Ms. Carey, Christmas is a commercial evergreen. Her smash hit, 1994’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” goes into heavy rotation every December. It is a seasonal fixture on the Billboard charts and a screechy breaker of Guinness World Records. It has earned Carey millions in royalties.And now Carey wants to officially be “Queen of Christmas.”
“And it’s not just about the music business. She’s trying to trademark this in every imaginable way — clothing, liquor products, masks, dog collars — it’s all over the map.”Here’s the problem. Well, there are a few problems, including the fact celebrities and their business reps are greedy psychos constantly playing angles on merch.
