If i wanted to print "ball-pythons.net" on a t-shirt..why would the admins be upset with promoting them?

or...why is it when you see a video on TV, "coke" is blurred out? It's promotion....perhaps i'm missing something there...educate me
Here's why ... (I'll use my business and opinions as an example) ... You're a good guy Nate, if you wanted to put "8 Ball Pythons" on a shirt and walk around Daytona, that's fine with me (or I could just bring you a shirt and save you the trouble ) ... but suppose a serial killer is out there and he loves the saying "Isn't it about time you got some balls?" ... so he makes up 8 Ball shirts and goes on doing his do .... then he gets caught and on the national news he's walking into a jail house yelling racial and religious slurs wearing a shirt with my company name and web address all over him ... NO THANK YOU! ... I don't need that kind of grief in my life ... and I'm just small potatoes ... do you know what that could do to a business like Disney? Hasbro? etc .... Every business has an image, without copyright law, ANYONE could represent any business with an image that isn't in the businesses best interest.
