the same arguement could be used by "tawnee stone"
That was a court decision about how a former Playmate could refer to her previous employer (Playboy) and "position" (Playmate). It's like saying, "Hey, she used to be a Bud girl".

You want something similar? Look into WWE vs Chyna or Sable. When they left WWE, they were unable to market themselves with their trademarked WWE names.

How fucking hard is this for people to understand?
