Hitler hears about DB's trademark on "radler"

Yesterday Dominion Breweries of New Zealand had their trademark for "radler" beer upheld by the Intellectual Property Office of NZ. This is in spite of the fact that radler is a generic term for a style of beer much like a shandy developed in Germany in the 1920s. Ironically DB's radler isn't even of this style. Now no one else can sell a genuine radler in this country using it's legitimate name. This video was created in response to this, and DB's trademark trolling of Green Man Breweries.

The video is of course "Der Untergang" otherwise known as "Downfall". A very good film I'd throughly recommend.

In regard to the Hashigo Zake reference see below.

...we shall fight them on the land and fight them on the sea...we shall never surrender! Radler is a generic beer term. DB ain't got the guts to label their beer style as souped up shandy. Corporate takeover of terminology is a crime against humanity.
