Blonde on Blonde: XXX

Pop stars beware! Porn stars are trying to sexploit your good names.

I was shocked to learn today that Grammy-winning pop singer Mariah Carey has been forced to take legal action to prevent porn star Mary Carey from trademarking her similar-sounding name. How could anyone be expected to tell the difference between the two?

M. Carey.......or.......M. Carey?

I spent the entire weekend watching videos from both Mariah ("Glitter", "Honey") and Mary ("Boobsville Sorority Girls", "Bosom Buddies 6") in a vain attempt to distiguish between the two performers.

If Mary Carey is allowed to cash in on Mariah Carey's good name, what will stop other porn stars from doing the same? Kate Bush beware! Joe Cocker take heed! Leon Redbone, Kurtis Blow, Marcia Ball there's a porn star after your name. Please, someone warn the estate of Woody Guthrie.
