Anyone else notice that the Inferno pin is now called Dancing Feet of Fire!
-BoomCrash-
raspberry611 06-29-2005, 05:59 AM I think that the name 'Inferno' sounds better.
Wynsome 06-29-2005, 06:01 AM I think that the name 'Inferno' sounds better.I agree. Maybe they were sued for copyright infringement. Or maybe they think kids won't understand the word inferno. Or maybe... I should shut my yap, because I really have no idea.
Taryn 06-29-2005, 06:01 AM Dancing Feet of Fire? That sounds so...stupid! Inferno was WAY cooler... :mad:
S86Goddess 06-29-2005, 06:02 AM Dancing Feet of Fire...WOW, what a mouthful!
SpinMarty 06-29-2005, 06:03 AM watch out . . . Lord of the Flaming Feet!!!!
Mr.Lunatix 06-29-2005, 06:03 AM lol The Feet of Fire for some reason really makes me want to go watch Nemo!
but i do like BoomCrash.
GBShorts 06-29-2005, 06:05 AM I wouldn't have noticed. I'm a "have not" :)
FlyThenFall 06-29-2005, 06:10 AM Oh boy. Maybe inferno is a reference to "you know" and that may be a bannable offense to refer to "you know!" Therefore, we have Dancing Feet of Fire!
I guess I have to change the name of my Inferno Seat (in my Question Game) to the "Seat that is not Cold!"

FlyThenFall 06-29-2005, 06:33 AM What was Dante's The Inferno about? :) That should help. I'm trying to abide by language stuff!
SpinMarty 06-29-2005, 06:37 AM What was Dante's The Inferno about? :) That should help. I'm trying to abide by language stuff!

LeanaSpin 06-29-2005, 07:23 AM Ok, dancing feet just sounds.. well, silly! LOL

Mr.Lunatix 06-29-2005, 09:03 AM I love BoomCrash, i can't wait to get it.
chickie3737 06-29-2005, 09:08 AM lol OMG Disney is using more sublithimal messaging *runs for dear life*
Diznygrl 06-29-2005, 09:16 AM Well if making a reference to "you know" on VMK is such a bad offense, how do they explain Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, HMMMMM? ;)
dizneydesi 06-29-2005, 09:48 AM lived made me do it!? ;)
Bezoar 06-29-2005, 10:30 AM Well if making a reference to "you know" on VMK is such a bad offense, how do they explain Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, HMMMMM? ;)
And we all KNOW what happened to poor Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in WDW, right?
I would agree with everyone above who thinks that people complained that Inferno referred to that hot place that naughty people go to (like after you get banned for saying 'kid').
However, I also think that Feet of Fire seems to refer to a bad case of athlete's foot.
figmentisback 06-29-2005, 11:50 AM Perhaps cause they wanted to keep the name different from the activation phrase?
GreatGatsby 06-29-2005, 04:02 PM And we all KNOW what happened to poor Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in WDW, right?
Maybe, but then explain -- according to your theory -- why it's still at Disneyland?
Bezoar 06-29-2005, 09:04 PM Maybe, but then explain -- according to your theory -- why it's still at Disneyland?
Sorry, tongue in cheek doesn't work well on text forums. No theory -- just a tongue in cheek comment.
I do think that "inferno" may have upset some very devoutly religious people who asked that a game that targeted "vulnerable" age groups should not make light of H*ll.
But, those same people probably don't like the concept of "magic" either in a game (or the Harry Potter "witches"), so I'm surprised Disney would bother.
Whatever... :)
Of course, the activation words "Flame on!" would be awesome!
...if there was no copyright infringement, which there would be. :(
wenyeva 06-29-2005, 11:42 PM Phrases can't be copyrighted... not that that ever stopped anyone from suing over them anyway! They can be trademarked, though, and I would not be surprised if Marvel has trademarked that phrase. Still, trademark only provides limited protection, and if anyone has deep pockets to defend themselves against a lawsuit, it would be Disney. :D
(I am not a lawyer, but was involved in a trademark lawsuit once.)
Mickey_Dude 06-29-2005, 11:52 PM what is BoomCrash?

(I am not a lawyer, but was involved in a trademark lawsuit once.)Please ask me next time before you take the thoughts directly out of my head and post them...I'm not sure if they're copyrighted or trademarked, but boy is it scary to be sharing a brain with someone! :D :D :D
GreatGatsby 06-30-2005, 04:54 AM Phrases can't be copyrighted... They can be trademarked, though
Quite right on the first, and there are severe limitations on the second, through which Flame On! would probably not be covered.
I'm not a lawyer either, but I'm a writer and have faced this kind of thing several times.
I think Disney's biggest concern about using the phrase, however, is giving ad space to a competitor. With the movie coming out in less than two weeks, the timing couldn't be worse for Disney to bring up the phrase from a Fox film.
jedimaster 06-30-2005, 04:57 AM i hope im not wearing flip flops lol

Heh, there is that. :)
