I Cannot Put "Louis Vuitton" into the Text of my Blog

I got this today from "ebay.ca". It strikes me as odd. Warning me off from some keywords? When I quizzed ebay.ca, they said, "I believe that these two companies believe its an infringement of their trademark." Idiots. Don't trademark McDonalds. What are you? McDonalds? Wendy's? One of the Safeway family?

It doesn't really matter much. I thought CJ-- Commission Junction-- was kind of a dud. Only one person I know of has made cash off them by a carefully executed/semi-legal scam.

What do you think?
