“Quit your job. Buy a ticket. Get a tan. Fall in love. Never return.”
Who would not want to follow this advice? Kendall and Kylie Jenner took this advice from The Island Company. The Jenners are not new to the spotlight from being on a reality television show, creating their own personal careers, writing a book, and starting their own fashion line with Pac Sun. In the process of doing this they have been the talk of the pop culture world and up until recently the majority of the talk has been positive. Recently, Kendall and Kylie Jenner were sued by Island Company. They took The Island Company’s long-standing motto of “Quit your job. Buy a ticket. Get a tan. Fall in love. Never return” and made it their own slogan on a shirt for their fashion line, reading “Run away. Fall in love. Never return”. The Island Company is suing the Jenners on the basis that the consumers may be confused by the resemblance of the sayings and believe they are purchasing from The Island Company as opposed to Pac Sun. The end result of the current case has not been published yet, but my assumption is that the problem will disappear pretty fast. The Jenners, especially with Kendall walking in the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, have enough money to either get rid of the shirt or fight the lawsuit if they want. At the end of the day the most important take away is that we should all follow the advice of the Jenners or The Island Company, by running away, falling in love, (or drinking tropical drinks somewhere sunny), and never returning so we do not have to take finals.
