Gotta love capitalism.

I had to go see for myself (not sure if these links will actually work):

Those links will not work.  You can use the following links:

http://tarr.uspto.gov/tarr?regser=serial&entry=85130638

and


http://tarr.uspto.gov/tarr?regser=serial&entry=85170226

These aren't unusual.  They are for essentially motivational speaker services.  I hate articles that talk about someone-or-other "trademarking" this or "trademarking" that.  Even the New York Times does it.  It's wrong.  No one owns a trademark in the abstract, only in connection with specific goods or services (dilution issues aside).

an interesting office action.  Looks like only formalities stand in the way.
