How can you trademark 'face' and 'book'?

After their successful prosecution of Teachbook.com for infringing trademark restrictions and 'riding on the coat-tails of the fame and enormous goodwill of the Facebook trademark', the omnipotent internet phenomenon is now making moves to trademark the word 'face'.

Bizarre.

Perhaps the Church of England should issue a trademark 'Notice of Allowance' to protect the integrity of the name 'Jesus'. And anyone who attempts to misrepresent His teachings or 'ride on the coat-tails of the fame and enormous goodwill' of the Head of the Church of England ought to be prosecuted, fined and imprisoned to the maximum that the law of trademark infringment permits.
