Julio Quevedo from Queens was arrested for trademark counterfeiting after he unwittingly sold knockoff, adult-sized Barney and Bob the Builder costumes to an undercover detective from the DA’s office.
In the man’s defense, he thought he was selling the costumes to be used in porn.
The really surprising thing about this whole thing is that the DA’s office has been working on this case for a year; once Hit Entertainment, which is the company that holds the licensed trademark for the characters, contacted them, they were on it.
It seems like Quevedo was begging to be caught when he sold a Bob the Builder costume for $250 cash in November at Kew Gardens, which is right in front of the DA’s office. Either that or he just didn’t think that the DA actually had time to worry about such trivial crap.
Everything came to pass, however, when the female investigator talked Quevedo into letting her see the storage unit that overflows with counterfeit costumes from children’s TV shows. Man, it must be even better than Disneyland’s underground costume room in there.
“To corrupt the image of these popular cartoon characters or have individuals of unknown backgrounds dressed in cheap-looking costumes in close proximity to young children is particularly troublesome.”
What? It’s not like the kids are going to see the porn before they turn 12. And, by then, they are probably going to think that Barney is retarded and Dora the Explorer is a jerk. In fact, we may even go so far as to say that fornicating adults wearing Tasmanian Devil costumes would’ve probably prevented kids from watching porn and having sex. So really, we can all just thank the District Attorney’s Office in Queens for all the future, teen pregnancies
