    CNN is reporting that Nintendo has filed a request with the Patent and Trademark office to protect the phrase "It's on like Donkey Kong."

    This also happens to be the first line in the Ice Cube track, "Now I Gotta Wet 'Cha." The request seems pretty well-timed to be used in ads supporting the upcoming release of Donkey Kong Country Returns, and at this point I'll only be satisfied if the song is used in the ads or if Cube appears in the advertising for the game. Anything less is a missed opportunity on the grandest scale!
      
      
    While I'm making demands, Call of Duty: Black Ops players are now encouraged to force the following exchange whenever shooting another player. 

    "You won, G!"

    "Won what?"

    "The wet T-shirt contest, motherfucker!"

    *BLAT BLAT BLAT BLAT*

    Please act accordingly (and feel free to occasionally shout "don't go to court in Torrance" while playing any Phoenix Wright game).

    What if the phrase "It's on like Donkey Kong" is IN DKC RETURNS?! First thing you see on the first level.  
     
    "It's on like Donkey Kong" 
     
    Then he explodes onto the screen, punches someone and beats his chest. Then you get to control it.

    I'm sure most of the folks saying they don't like rap all just wanted nintendo to trademark Slipknot so they could buy themselves a licensed noose so that they could all go emo and commit ritualistic suicide, or they just like hearing folks scream at them and not understand a word they are saying.
     
    Poetry is cool over music, screaming is never cool over anything.
     
    Should be an awesome commercial song for nintendo.
     
    Weirdest news so far today.

    Didn't they use that phrase in the Scott Pilgrim ads? Is there an ex post facto thing on copyright?  
     
    And more importantly, does this mean it's no longer cool to say that? Cuz we used to say it all the time...
