Calling all lawyers…

Robert Burck has been arrested in San Francisco and given a citation for “violating a posted sign.” Seems like an odd charge to enforce but I doubt it has any serious legal consequences or punishment.

Robert Burck is better known as “the Naked Cowboy.” Burck is a NYC street musician who performers dressed only in skin-tight underpants, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. He gained fame and trademarked “the Naked Cowboy.”

He is currently involved with a lawsuit against Mars, Inc. due to possible trademark infringement. I doubt those lawyers are the ones representing him regarding his arrest.

Everyone likes the M&Ms commercials so I think Burck should be flattered that his image or likeness was used. It was free publicity for him. Then again maybe he is suing so that he gets even more publicity. And maybe the arrest is yet another publicity stunt.

I wonder if the lawsuit will make M&M collectibles more valuable?
