OMG, that's just...not damned fair, you!
And I gotta go teach critical thinking. PFFT.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From Think Geek: OFFICIALLY OUR BEST-EVER CEASE AND DESIST
Recently we got the best-ever cease and desist letter. We're no stranger to the genre, so what could possibly make this one stand out from the rest?
First, it's 12 pages long and very well-researched (except on one point); it even includes screengrabs of the offending item from our site. And we know they're not messing around because they invested in the best and brightest legal minds.
But what makes this cease and desist so very, very special is that it's for a fake product we launched for April Fool's day.
It wasn't the iCade, or the Dharma Initiative Clock, or even the Tribbles 'n' Bits Breakfast Cereal.
No, it was the Canned Unicorn Meat.
The very special but also very real letter is from the National Pork Board, who claims we're infringing on the slogan "The Other White Meat," a slogan they're apparently thinking about phasing out anyways. A screengrab of the product page is below.
Luckily, the Sisters at Radiant Farms, where the unicorns are nursed through old age before being slaughtered, canned, and brought to market at ThinkGeek, have nothing to worry about--this kind of use is protected as a parody. (We're hoping the NPB doesn't tell the Sisters that unicorns don't actually exist; it'd break their little sparkly hearts.)

perhaps you would wish to ponder the ever important question -- is he wearing pants under the cassock? or perhaps some matching black boxer briefs?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, it's really your heart talking here, sure.

Is it wrong of me to be snarkily amused by "GOTH UR DOIN IT RONG" letters sent to GCS? Because I've been getting some amazing examples of people who haven't been visited by the Reading Comprehension Fairy.

Jilli, I've been meaning to tell you for forever--you're pretty much halfassing it. If you could display some devotion to gothery, that'd be great, thanks. You're letting down the team.
Unrelatedly, what are the odds that I remember to take my groceries home from the fridge with me today?
