New York City's famous Naked Cowboy wants a bikini-clad woman who calls herself "The Naked Cowgirl" to stop ripping off his trademark. The Times Square cowboy has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sandy Kane, a former stripper who's now a fixture of the city comedy scene. "Your use of Naked Cowgirl is essentially identical to the Naked Cowboy and is clearly in violation" of Burck's trademark, read the letter, according to the New York Post. The cowboy, whose real name is Robert Burck, says if Kane's going to make money by posing for photos he wants her to sign a "Naked Cowboy Franchise Agreement." Most licensed franchisees are required to pay $5,000 a year or $500 a month. But Kane, whose real name is Sandra Brodsky, said she doesn't owe Burck anything...moreGus and Captain Call were unanimous. She should copy him...right in front of the Hat Creek Cattle Company and Livery Emporium.
