CNN reports on tycoon Richard Branson's attempt to protect Virgin Enterprises by suing firms and domains using the word "virgin", claiming that it leeches from Virgin Enterprises' fame and reputation (via Boing Boing, Chilling Effects).

Amazing.

The word "virgin" brings to mind Branson and Virgin Enterprises just like how it brings to mind Anna Nicole Smith (i.e, not at all). Perhaps Branson and Co should look about suing people who use the term "Media Whore" as well. If Bai Ling doesn't countersue first, that is.

Better yet: I'm a virgin!

There. Sue me.
