Somebody Shut This Man Up!!!

As I'm sure most of you are aware, I don't like Paul McCartney. Not at all. Yes, I LOVE The Beatles, but there are so many stories from their break-up that show up his true personality - not to mention everything he's done from the past 5 years or so (namely the whole McCartney/Lennon fiasco and Freedom... blargh!). So a few years ago I made the stark realisation - PAUL MCCARTNEY IS A SELF-ABSORDED, SELF-PROMOTING, EGOTISTICAL CONTROL FREAK WHO IS ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY AND FURTHERING HIS OWN PUBLIC IMAGE AND I CAN'T STAND HIM!

Don't believe me? Well dig this:

McCartney registers name as trademark
Saturday Oct 14 12:05 AEST

Former Beatle Paul McCartney sought on Friday to cash in on his name by registering it as a trademark for use on everything from waistcoats to vegetarian food.
In addition to vegetarian items, he is also seeking permission for the name on meat, fish, poultry and game.

The application has been made by McCartney's company, MPL Communications Ltd, and if successful will give it the exclusive right to use of the name McCartney on clothing, footwear, headgear and a variety of other goods.

The full application specifies such disparate items as articles of fancy dress, overalls, waistcoats, hosiery, dressing-gowns, bath robes, sports clothing and swimwear.

So, while I'm sure all you Macca fans out there will be ready to abuse me for insulting "the infallibe Sir Paul", you will excuse me while I go laugh at his arrogance and listen to music he could never try and claim as his...

(Yes, I did just run away and listen to All Things Must Pass - the greatest solo album of any ex-Beatle)
