Did Mitt Romney Steal His Nurdle from Aquafresh?

[meegbear]

Not twelve hours after its announcement and serious, damaging questions are already being raised about the campaign of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. Specifically: Did Romney steal Aquafresh's nurdle?

Vanity Fair's Juli Wiener was the first to note that that candidate Romney's campaign logo "looks exactly like the Aquafresh logo." Or, to be more accurate, the logos have the same nurdle.

As you no doubt know, a nurdle is (in the words of our own Hamilton Nolan) "that hypnotizing wave-shaped squirt of multicolored toothpaste that appears on toothpaste packages." It is an important aspect of your toothpaste/presidential brand because, according to the nurdle experts at the Wall Street Journal, "the oral care aisle is so crowded." Proprietary nurdles are jealously guarded under threat of lawsuit.

Colgate learned this the hard way last year, when they were slapped with a multimillion-dollar nurdle suit by Aquafresh. Indeed, the question in this case is not if Aquafresh will sue Romney over his blatant nurdle-theft, but when, and for how much money. Our guess: Tomorrow, and a million billion dollars. Romney needs solve this nurdle problem fast—or his campaign will be over before it even begins.

1. Other than the same colors in the same order they do NOT look alike.

No highlight in the red portion. Entirely different shape.

4. C'mon Luther, lighten up. We need some laughs around this place.

I think everyone realizes they aren't the same, but you can't deny the similarity.

2. Well, he cribbed "Believe in America" from John Kerry

So, he likes recycling, apparently. And his boys Brad, Biff, Buff and Boink, are going to ride around in a bus to promote the family business, which sounds a lot like The Partridge Family.

3. Proctor and Gamble sponsor his teeth.

They outbid Just For Men who wanted to sponsor his hair. Or was that Johnson Wax?

5. I'm no Romney fan,

but if this is what Wiener thinks looks "exactly like the Aquafresh logo," she either needs something to aid her vision or understanding of what "exactly like" means or both. Similar, yes. Exactly like, no. And whatever Mitt is, he is NOT a toothpaste.

For more on "nurdle fights," if anyone is interested.

Mitt, like many Republicans, often nurdles, i.e., waffles or muses about subjects he clearly knows little about.

9. More Republicon darkside Black Op-Art Occultism

Science shows that Republicons who BEHOLD the Romney nurdle for .666 seconds or longer invariably develop diaper smurdles.

10. It would be fucking hilarious if he got sued for copyright infringement

OMG that would be a hoot.

11. Romney is a nurdle.

12. The red is right, the left is blue and the pretty white middle.

What a POS.
FWIW, my republican friends all despise Romney.
