@ACraigL True, which makes me wonder exactly how Meh got that little trademark sign they put on the last set of shirts. Was it the period that made the difference?
Mediocre's trademark / service mark for "MEH" is a standard character mark and they claimed:

Interestingly, Black Wharf CORPORATION UNITED KINGDOM Unit 7744, UK Postbox Courier Point, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road Poole UNITED KINGDOM BH166FH holds a live standard character mark for "MEH" claiming:

It may be more interesting when Black Wharf's filing is published for opposition . . .

I don't thing they're "at" anything. The word Meh did exist before this site, and that is just one of 42 dumb mugs they have in that sale.
Were you thinking this was phase one of some masterplan to draw mehricans back into wootdom?
@ACraigL True, which makes me wonder exactly how Meh got that little trademark sign they put on the last set of shirts. Was it the period that made the difference?
@sammydog01 The trademark is the italicized layout, not the "meh" wording.
@narfcake Thanks for the explanation.
@sammydog01 You're welcome. It's also only a guess.

@narfcake cute, but it's from woot, so I will give it a pass. Friends don't let friends shop on an Amazon store.
This mug made me think of the Mehrican community, particularly @carl669:
@dashcloud I want this.
@Thumperchick Available here: http://emilymcdowell.com/products/dream-big-mug
@dashcloud except "fuck off" would be at the top of my mug.
@carl669 And the next four lines as well.

@sammydog01 @dashcloud @ACraigL
