Pork Pushers Protest Sale of Unicorn Meat

[doctorwhofan]

ThinkGeek also apologized for the long, awkward pause in the conversation when it explained to the Pork Board over the telephone that unicorn meat doesn't actually exist.


That line says it all. Glad I gave thinkgeek alot of my cash...Good on them!

 

[Dioxide20]

Win.

ThinkGeek is awesome!

 

[dicai]

"Sue first, think later" That's the motto nowadays!

 

[duchaked]

...seriously?

haha ironically I just read the other day on Yahoo News about the pork company with said slogan was actually considering a change of slogan (cuz they felt it was outdated and had already out-served its purpose)

They just gave unicorn meat so much free advertising. In fact public perception of unicorn meat has now doubt improved thanks to articles like this one.

Silly Pork Pushers, Unicorns don't exist. And even if they did, you'd have to deal with those pesky Minotaurs first. (Cookie for the game reference)

..Though on a serious note, no third party outside of this called how fucking retarded this lawsuit is, considering the basis of it? My faith in Humanity's sanity just went down a little, again.

Haha that's from Oblivion. I never understood why they were guarding the unicorn. I figured they would be trying to kill it and eat it.

But honestly this whole lawsuit is a complete joke. People seem to be suing each over over absolutely anything these days. Like how that one woman sued Google over walking directions that got her hit by a car.

So...
If this case is any inclination...
The world isn't ready for my Kentucky Fried Phoenix....

Everyone knows that Pegasus meat is the money meat.

Best wings in the business!

I could make a joke about some of their products having escaped, got dressed up in business suits, and assumed control of the company/conglomerate. But that would be too easy, so I'll just say this: The Pork People sued somebody over unicorn meat. Nothing could ever surpass this, this is the ultimate punch line; "hey, at least they didn't sue because of unicorn meat,.."
Truly we live in a great world. Now excuse me, I'll go drink myself half to death. Hopefully I'll forget I ever saw this and retain a bit of faith in humanity...

 

[ethaninja]

Hahaha wow. I wonder what would happen if they let it slide.

 

[Danglybits]

The real world amuses and concerns me. I would have loved to be on the party line for that phone call.

"ThinkGeek also apologized for the long, awkward pause in the conversation when it explained to the Pork Board over the telephone that unicorn meat doesn't actually exist."

bahahaha, I can just imagine that.
"Um... you do know that... unicorns don't exist, right...?"

 

[MurderousToaster]

My faith in humanity is steadily going south with the influx of things like these.

I mean, the Pork Board must be populated entirely by drug addicts and idiots if they panicked over unicorn meat, thought it was a real product and sent a cease and desist letter to a company for a product released on the first of April.

Oh... dear... is all I can really say to that (or should it be oh unicorn?).
It makes me laugh that this was taken so seriously when unicorns don't (to our knowledge) exist. I know copyright infringment is a bad thing but this is equivilent to Rowntree's fruit gums taking action against the Goodies (old UK TV show ask you're parents if you're under the age of twenty) for infringement on the slogon 'Goodie, Goodie gum gum'. Or visa vera, I can't remember which came first, 'Goodie, Goodie yum, yum' or 'Goodie, Goodie, gum gum'. Very silly.
And thus ends my tortured metaphore/reference.

I'm 17 & i think The Goodies are amazing

OT: This is hilarious. i don't even really know what to say. Just, wow. Unicorn Meat. I suppose i have 2 questions:
a) is it nutritious?

b) does it have healing qualities?

Seriously, i don't know how they could've thought it was real. I also don't know who would confuse pork with unicorn meat.

 

[Plurralbles]

Uh, I dunno. Must be the farmer seeping into me from the air of my hometown but I understand the pork guys. Ohwell. Not going to worry too much about it. If they win, that's great, if unicorn meat keeps its slogan, that's A-okay with me, too. I can't pick sides on this issue for some weird reason.

 

[Danallighieri]

This has made my day, it's brilliant

 

[bjj hero]

This could only happen in America. Do you bother with schools over there?

 

[Soxafloppin]

What actually is it though? Inside the can?

Some people are absolutely ridiculous. The copyright laws are there to protect people from having others unjustly take their work and prevent them from making a profit with it- not so that major corporations can sue others who are hosting a fictional add for a made up product.
