This is old news, but it still cracks me up…

As they do every year, Thinkgeek put up some funny fake products on April Fools’ Day. Among them was Canned Unicorn Meat, which they called “the new white meat.”

The National Pork Board sent Thinkgeek a cease and desist nastygram, alleging trademark dilution of their “The Other White Meat” trademark.

The cease and desist was serious, though Thinkgeek points out that its use was a legally-protected parody, and mentions an “awkward extended pause on the phone after we had explained our unicorn meat doesn’t actually exist.” The unicorn meat was kind of funny on April 1st, but the meticulously-research cease and desist letter from a powerhouse law firm makes it infinitely more hilarious.
