Starfleet with Chinese Characteristics

[Triskelion]

China's IP infringements don't stop at the corner pirate DVD shop. They extend to Olympics orchestral themes and now their space agency? Check out the logo!

Lovely having one's culture co-opted to serve the Brave New World.

Now if only they'd knock off IDIC

I've got an idea. Let's start a consumer demand for tribbles.

 

[Data Holmes]

That's interesting...

 

[All Seeing Eye]

China needs suing.

 

[Green Shirt]

Paramount's gonna kick their ass.


And just for THAT, they aren't getting the movie 'till May, 2009.


Oh, crap. I forgot.

I don't think their logo is whats bad.

I think whats bad is 40 years after the space race were still involved in childish dick measuring contests using space as a new theater for them.

I think it was the above mission where the Astronaut unwrapped a pack with a Chinese flag in one hand and a UN Flag in the other, that and the International Space Station is the spirit we should be going into space with, there should be one global space agency with all of us pooling our resources.

Space exploration should not be a theater for childish nationalism to rear it's ugly head once again, we've enough of that crap on earth.

 

[Green Shirt]

I always assumed the Trek delta shield was based on the NASA logo, anyway.

 

[A beaker full of death]

oy. Where do people think those laurel leaves came from? Maybe the UN should sue Paramount.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

OMG, is that their real logo? CHEESY!

Paramount should sue for defamation, not copyright infringement.

 

[Data Holmes]

I for one like the idea of the worlds space forces all using derivatives of a similar design. Will make it easier when they all get folded into a single 'Terran space agency" down the line. And if they use trek's symbol, so much the better.

If you knew anything about the International Space Station's history, you'd know that it was the Americans who didn't want China involved with the project, especially when we were calling it "Space Station Freedom." China in fact has expressed interest in being a part of it.

Look im not interested in a who was right who was wrong which country was the boogy man which was not.
The point I was making is a global venture is better than one nation alone trying to childlishly outwit or win a race against another.

 

[Krieg1981]

Copyright infringement is a way of life, I guess.

I hope that day never comes.

Then, with respect, the correct spelling of your username is "Xenophobe."

But seriously ... uhm, why not?

Fuck you, you kool-aid drinking, knee-jerk fuckwit.

 

[Lynx]

Why sue? Maybe they should be honored that Star Trek is obviously inspiring people working with the real thing.

 

[Darth Picardous]

Well now we know where the Federation started from-mainland China. Certainly explains the Federation economic system, but not the lack of Chinese in StarFleet

 

[StolenThunder]

Ooft!

This is really quite minor and while perhaps slightly ill-advised attempts to further a discussion.

This isn't. Warning for flaming.

Or from many other parts of the planet! Sure everyone was from North America! (except that French guy with the British accent)
