for those who missed my previous post from last night, the headline is correct. lexus has chosen to capitalize on the good name of yours truly with their current marketing campaign on television and online known as “the power of h”. currently they run commercials on tv with this slogan and run the website thepowerofh.com to further promote their corporate propaganda. clearly the marketing gurus at lexus are huge fans of yours truly the h, and thought they could get away with using the name without compensation or permission!

now, even though our country’s silly and outdated patent laws favor huge multi-national corporations by stating that you can’t own a letter, i am asking you to help fight back. lexus, their parent company toyota, and even corporate leaders worldwide have been exploiting us lowly artists for too long, and it is time for us to fight back as one! we must not allow them to trample even one more writer/photographer/musician/designer!!!

SO… if someone you know is working for either toyota or lexus, make sure you tell them to [A]stop using my name, or [B]give me a car and make me an honorary spokesman for their new line of luxury hybrid vehicles. if they’re going to use my name to promote their corporate agenda, i should be properly compensated!

Fight Back! Spread the Word!

they may have their “thepowerofh.com” website, but now, we have BEHOLDthepowerofSTEPHENH.com!!! bookmark that address, share it with your friends, and get the word out… updates will be seen on that site regularly until this injustice has been righted!

THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND!

UPDATE: after checking my StatPress logs here on the site, i came across the following…

THIS IS AN ACTUAL SCREENSHOT!

YOU READ THAT RIGHT!!! someone at toyota/lexus headquarters in torrance, california has seen my original post!!! and in less than 12 hours from when it was originally posted! it is now up to them to do the right thing!!!

note: stephen the h is not affiliated with the lexus company… yet. lexus is a registered trademark. this page contains content intended for your entertainment only and is not to be considered an actual slander against lexus, who for all i know makes really exceptional motor vehicles and really ought to give me one for all this hype i’m giving them.
