Critics were particularly angered by the line in Jordan’s trademark filing that claimed the term has “no meaning in a foreign language”.
At the start of the week, the minister of trade and industry, Paula Gopee-Scoon, told Trinidad and Tobago Newsday the intellectual property implications of the filing were “of extreme concern”.
It sounds more like he was trying to get away with some shifty IP registration but got called out on it.
"J’Ouvert" is the name for their annual celebrations, so I have no doubt there's a bunch of shit being sold under that name during the events. The idiot wokies on Twitter are worried about cultural appropriation but I'd guess that the actual governments are more concerned about preventing frivolous litigation.
There's also the possibility that Jordan could be taking away a potentially lucrative intellectual property from these governments and they'd rather not let that slip through their fingers.
It's genuinely incomprehensible to me how anybody alive can manage to give a shit about this, let alone be "angered" and sign a petition to prevent the drink from getting on the market.
Some of his interviews about his character in capeshit wakkanda and the speeches he's made at BLM rallies would probably would make him a member of the wokesters.
I don't think he's bad, just saying he's is politically about where you'd expect him to be. He's pretty awesome, but comparing him to Jaden Smith is like comparing Superman to a house plant.

Imagine, as a famous citizen of the most powerful nation in human history, bowing to Trinidadcels and Tobagoids

Charitably, he just wants to make sure he can smash at Carnival next year.

Trinidad and Tobago is an English speaking country too.

Step one: be terminally online.
Step two: have online "petitions".

The fact that he got ya'll'd is hysterical to me. I love watching the left eat it's own.

I still like him. I like to pretend that he's secretly Will Smith's son because Will deserves better.

Less this, and more that no one deserves to be related to Jaden Smith
