The Slants - Fan Question: Why are you having a problem in getting the name copyrighted? I know that you are an Asian-American group. I have lived and worked in the Far east for many years and have never heard of your group before but I will definitely be ordering one of your albums. And I am old enough to probably be your great grandmother. Hope everything works out. The PC police are getting worse and worse everyday.

Hi,

We're having trouble register our band's trademark because the Trademark Office believes it is disparaging to a substantial portion of persons of a Asian descent (even though they don't have any evidence showing this). More on it can be heard here: http://n.pr/1OSFwEh

Thank you for your support!
