Spurs remind web site that George Hill's private parts are registered trademark of the NBA

George Hill’s genitals are enjoying their 15 minutes of fame (although I haven’t seen them — could be 30 minutes), but the San Antonio Spurs and the NBA are not amused. Because he obviously doesn’t own a TV or a computer and never reads the newspaper, Hill doesn’t know that it’s unwise to take cell phone photos of your Mr. Happy and send it to various women. That’s what he did, and now his junk is about to go viral. The Dirty.com posted several photos of his nether regions recently, and now the Spurs have fired off letters threatening legal action if they’re not taken down. The Dirty’s reaction? No, we’d rather not.
Hey San Antonio Spurs, you’re just making George Hill’s penis more famous!
We’re going to TMZ for further details, because quite frankly The Dirty is named that for a reason and we really can’t link to it here. If you really must see the photos, use that Google search technology that was outlined in their Super Bowl commercial, and replace the phrase “cafes near the Louvre” with “George Hill’s beef whistle.”
From TMZ:
The Spurs’ lawyer fired off a letter to TheDirty.com last week, demanding the website “immediately and permanently” remove the photos showing guard George Hill’s privates … pics the genius snapped of himself using his cell phone. The Spurs want the pics down because they shine a negative light on the team’s image.
But a lawyer for TheDirty sent a letter right back, saying the site has every right to post photos of “celebrities making fools of themselves” — and taking them down won’t change the fact that Hill is a moron.
TheDirty’s lawyer also says the Spurs’ attempt to have the pics removed will only cause a “Streisand Effect” — meaning the matter will become even more publicized due to their attempt to quash it … like it just did.
Surprisingly, the aptly named Spurs blog Pounding the Rock has nothing to say bout this yet.
