Fitness Hero! Workout Hero! (Not from Activision, though!)

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jul 1st 2009 8:30PM

Trademarks for both Fitness Hero and Workout Hero have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Siliconera, which spends its summer afternoons looking up trademarks, found the listings aren't by Activision, but by VPT Technologies, an exergaming developer.

We said it before -- when Gearbox Software registered War Hero -- doesn't Activision own the word "hero" in relation to any video game by this point? We know Activision is litigious -- even when it's wrong. Some attorney on retainer should be all over this.

F me, thats the most disturbing one yet! :O

Nightmares!!

wow now its on engadget too

Lol..keep it up Joystiq

Man, I must've really stared at that Dead Space image too long. I can't get it out of my head !

Its viral marketing :D

You're bound to buy it now

Bringing the "Joy" to Joystiq :)

AAAAAAAAAARRGGGHHHH!!!!

your DSG avatar uploaded...

Dead Space Hero?

You forgot Girl in the title. Who cares about Dead Space...Its the girl everyone lusts for.

With a mouth like that, who wouldn't?

She's in nearly every post!

This is really getting old. And it get's better with age!

lol when will it end??

So much pain!

anyone else think DSG bears a sliiiight resemblance to michael jackson?

too soon?

Dead Space Girl never rests!

To all the complainers:

If you don't like it go somewhere else.

Signed,
Captain Obvious

I don't like it because it derails articles. All of the comments are "OMG DOOD I totally couldn't find her." Or "HAHAHAHA THIS IS FUNNY EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN GOING ON ALL DAY NOW"

And that's different from all the other times how?

Oh noes, guys! tmac doesn't like it! What are we gonna do?

Go away if you don't like it, douchebag.

Keep 'm coming guys. The fucking funniest thing ever.

Dedication knows to never stop.

"Sick of this crap"

The most appropriate name on Joystiq ever.

I'm so in love with that face i'm just going to end up buying the game just to stare at it all fucking day.

Thanks Joystiq!

people can bitch but they will miss her when she is gone

I can't handle this XD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought that stupid picture would be over by now.

First Pachter day and now this. Joystiq, see ya in a week. Hopefully you'll stop with the spammy articles.

Don't let the proverbial door hit you in the ass on the way out!

Door was locked. Thank god joystiq stopped with this stupid nonsense.

they dont fucking give up..

WHO THE F IS IT?

Aren"t you guys going a little crazy with the deadspace lady?

Omg, I like how non of the 35 comments ever talk about the article.
Not saying its a bad thing,

I think I forgot something ... oh yeah. Go dead space girl, your so dreamy :)

WERE'S THE FACE!?!?! I CAN'T FIND IT!

Ok, I missed it, why is this face on all these posts?
