Mention the famous beaver, and before long someone will be telling you about the spotless bathrooms, the brisket sandwiches or the Beaver Nuggets. That's why I couldn't help but laugh when comedian John Oliver decided to spend part of his HBO show taking shots at one of Texas' most beloved brands. Why John Oliver Targeted Buc-ee’sDuring a recent episode of Last Week Tonight, Oliver criticized Buc-ee's history of filing trademark lawsuits against businesses it believes copied its famous branding. Not because I have strong feelings about trademark law, but because it's easier to side with John Oliver when the nearest Buc-ee's is hours away. If anything, John Oliver's segment probably reminded people just how protective they are of the famous beaver.
