Sharon Osbourne has ripped Gene Simmons for attempting to trademark the “devil horns” hand gesture. During a recent edition of her show The Talk, Osbourne slammed Simmons for the trademark request, accusing him of “trying to make money from posters and t-shirts.” “He’s crazy. He’s trying to get money from the merch where you see this [gesture] on merch, but actually this [symbol], in Italian, which has been going for hundreds of years, means ‘the devil.’ That’s what it means. And so kids at concerts have been doing it for years and years and years. And in ’74? Where were you in the ’60s when they were doing it, kid, because they’ve been doing it forever.” “C’mon! Stop trying to make money from posters and t-shirts. You’ve got enough.” Simmons claimed the gesture was first used in commerce on November 14, 1974 on KISS’s Hotter Than Hell tour.
