TGIF: Cat O’Nine Tails

Which is creepier?  The fact that “cat o’nine tails” is an actual identification listed in the “Trademark Acceptable Identification of Goods & Services” OR the fact that 38 trademarks included it in their listing of goods/services?

One of those trademarks is a pending design for “AEROFLOT RUSSIAN AIRLINES” (Ser.No. 79/046430).  You apparently don’t want to mess with Russian air marshals.
