Important Message From the Hogettes- Imposter Hogette

[TK]

If I may play Devil's advocate for a moment..

You may not.

It seems like the "real" Hogette's need to drop the elitist attitude and move on. It's a dress and a nose. I understand that they have a positive image among fans and media, but for them to feel like they are the ONLY ones who can portray such an image is a little annoying to me. The "impostor" at least has good intentions, doesn't he? I mean, it's not like he's really a Giants fan making a mockery of the Hogette's, right? They should feel honored that their image is being used by others.. imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

What you need to do is understand what the following two sentences from the original post mean.

Please be aware that 'HOGETTES' is a Registered Trademark and the Hogette likeness is COPYWRITED. He is currently in violation of both federal and state statutes.

It helps if you actually read the original post instead of being in a rush to hear the clacky-clack of your keyboard so you can offer up drivel just be 'different'.

I'm sorry, but this comes across as:

"We're the only ones who are allowed to cross dress with pig snouts!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If he is violating people then that is a big deal, but the dressing up.....not so much

[Boss_Hogg]

It is not that he is just dressing like them, claiming to be one of them etc but that he is harming fans under their name. He is dangerous to women and possibly children.

wha?

That's a pretty serious allegation.

I read everything, tiger. Calm down.

Doesn't change the fact that their acting like children.

NOW- If this guy is doing what Huly is asserting, and is harassing people or acting downright belligerent, that changes the dynamic completely.. and I agree that he needs to be stopped. It just rubs me the wrong way that they act like they're the only ones who can do this. Trademark or no trademark, its elitist and childish. (unless, AGAIN, he's TARNISHING the image).

My sincere apologies for having an opinion, Mr. TK, sir.

That's a pretty serious allegation.

I am not sure what Huly wants to spell out on the board, but there have been some "incidents" with this guy...

I think the hogettes are trying to go about this in a nice way by using the copyright statement, but in reality, I think they are more worried about this guy damaging their good public image with the TONS of charity work they do..

One guy coming along and claiming to be part of their organization and wrecking their reputation as a wholesome group can damage all the non-profit chairty work they do...

[Huly]

What exactly has this guy done? This makes it sound like the police should be looking for him.

They have received multiple complaints about inappropriate behavior towards women. How far he has taken that I do not know. I can say on facebook he tries to give young women tickets to attend a game with him and from I have heard from other fans is he tries to inappropriately touch women and makes sexual advances and inappropriate comments.

[Huly]

Also see Rtandlers post as he has heard of complaints too.

[skinsfan44]

I removed him from my Facebook page.

I was wondering about him and if he was legit. I had not heard of any Hogettes outside of DMV, but thought maybe he had to move away and still remained a Hogette.

Thanks for the heads up, Huly.

Then I retract my previous statements. I agree that he needs to stop portraying himself as a Hogette.

[KingGibbs]

The Hogettes are a staple in Redskins history whether you agree or disagree with how they represent the team. Like some have mentioned they do a lot of charity work while some of you criticizing them probably don't even know how to spell the word charity.

Would I dress up like them? No. But that what makes them unique. They have an identity that both old and young fans can recognize. That's more than we can say about our team (identity aspect) that the Hogettes are so loyal to.

[Boss_Hogg]

man what a scumbag...

[Capt. Kaos]

Thanks for the heads up!

I have also removed him from my facebook and I will be sure to keep an eye out for the scumbag at future games.

[AAARedskin]

YAWN........call the police! Call out the FBI! OMG.....somebody is dressed up as a hog-ette and is walking around the stadium saying hello to everybody and shaking their hands!

Can't you ppl see how ridiculous this is? This is a HUGE who cares, and a NON-STORY!

[S.T.real,lights,out]

Look kind of like manbearpig! lol
