Bon Jovi Hates MiJovi
- Posted on Jul 19th 2007 3:30PM by David Sprague
Since we've never been particularly fond of raising our heart rate through the ingestion of energy drinks, we have a modicum of sympathy for Jon Bon Jovi, who's filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey-based maker of one such brew -- claiming that it's giving him a bad name. Marcos Carrington, who, in 2004, started pumping out cans of the coffee-based MiJovi beverage, claims that the moniker was intended as an homage to his own gal pal -- who happens to be named Jovita -- and not a tip of the hat to the hair-metal Hottentot. That explanation might hold a little more (caffeinated) water had Carrington not upped the ante by advertising his quaff with the tagline "ItsMiLife" -- a slogan that bears what some might call a passing resemblance to a song from Mr. Bongiovi's catalog.
If all else fails, Carrington could probably just repackage the liquid in question as 'Livin' on My Hair' pomade.

Ok, it's MiJovi, and bonjovi is just upset that he sucks and that no one cares about him anymore. that's why he's trying to stop them. Jovita means "jovial life" and anything around MiJovi is supposed to come from that idea.
