Traffic and weather together

Where was the tornado? All I see is rain and wind and the girl filming it yelling "Oh my god" over and over. Don't even see a funnel cloud.
 
In 2011 when New York's "FM 101.9 News" began "Traffic and Weather Together," they received a Cease and Desist order. The phrase has been trademarked by CBS Radio, Inc. since 1990. 101.9 complied.

A Wilmington station, then affiliated with CBS Radio but not owned by it, used that phrase up until a few years ago when it was sold (and dropped CBS). But this went on for years and apparently CBS never noticed, never cared or lets stations use it that are not in direct competition. In any case, unless they had a specific agreement allowing this Wilmington station (among others) to use the phrase, they could well have rendered the trade mark invalid (like Aspirin).
 
Maybe the idiot woman should have had both hands on the wheel instead of taking a video herself screaming "oh my god" 30 times....just sayin'

You Tube commenter had it right..."Darwin, finish her off." :p
