Cheryl JSPAMMER ALERT
There are some parastic spammers that have found their way onto Orble as members and are hitting almost every blog they can. All of them have shoe names in names Like Timberland Boots, Air Jordan, Ugg Australia, Nike etc. They just copy another persons comments as their own. It is just another way to spam. If you click on them it will take you to a very dodgy shoe site that sells fakes. If you have comments by them, delete them all.
Let's all work to keep Orble clear of spammers.

But seriously, your post reminded me of the Ugg Boot law suit from a few years back. The ABC made a doco about it in 2006 titled: TheGood, The Bad and The Ugg Boot. (It's not available to view online, only by purchase).
This is from the ABCs Commercial website:
For over 100 years the ugg boot has been an Australian icon. Now through a bizarre comedy of errors the ‘ugg’ trademark is owned by an aggressive US corporation. Deckers Outdoor Corporation have called their new brand of ugg boots “Ugg Australia.”
The story begins at Christmas 2003 when Ugg boot manufacturers worldwide receive a letter from Deckers Outdoor Corporation demanding that they cease using the word Ugg or Ugh or be sued.
Enter the McDougalls who have been making and selling ugg boots through their family business for 27 years. The McDougalls decide to fight. They sue Deckers back saying that Ugg is a generic term and should never have been trade marked in the first place. But they have to prove it. Bruce sets out to gather the evidence.
At the same time another small family business in the US are being sued by Deckers for calling their boots uggs. The Severns have been selling Australian sheep skin boots in the US for 40 years. They also decide to sue Deckers back saying it is not a legitimate American trademark. If they lose their Australian supplier Robert Brody Hall will have to put off workers or close.
Following the dramatic twists and turns of both these cases The Good The Bad and The Ugg Boot uncovers the strange history of the ugg boot and how it became a global fashion sensation. But it is the build up to the legal showdowns that keep the story on an emotional roller coaster right up to the surprising conclusion.

I wouldn't be able to get through winter, especially when I go home to visit family if it wasn't for my trusty uggies. I hate the cold.
But I hate spammers more. I have no problems with legitimate businesses advertising within their blogs but I hate when they infiltrate and use others to sell products probably made from the slave labour of children in third world countries.
We all know that blog sites are for us narcissists to be self indulgent and write about ourselves. Surely nobody ever expects to make money from it haha.

That's what disappointed me most about your reply to MY comment. You only mentioned MY NAME once!
