The phrase “never again” has taken on a whole new meaning. Apparently India-based Swastika Brand Snuff is doing its part to ensure there’s never another holocaust by trademarking the very symbol of Nazi oppression — the Swastika. Genocidal regimes and hatemongering groups will have to think twice now before they make use of this ancient Hindu symbol of wisdom lest they open up a can of Indian legal woop ass. Now, if only the trademarkers could claim retroactive royalties…
(Authors note: at writing time, it is unclear whether Swastika Brand Snuff owns the rights to all representations of the swastika, or just the fluorescent orange swastika as pictured above. Stay tuned.)
