Yummy Unicorn meat!

Unicorn meat is NOT 'the other other white meat'

Thinkgeek gets slapped with a Cease and Desist.

Pretty funny for a April Fool's day joke.

Does the unicorn meat come with rainbow infused curry?

Isn't the national Pork Board also known as the Government? Maybe they have some unicorns stashed somewhere and this order might hold water after all.

But seriously, don't companies/ organizations have to enforce their trademarked, copywrited, patented, etc. materials whenever they may be infringed upon (even if it is parody) or risk setting a potentially dangerous precedent for future cases?

I don't understand, there's so many parodies out there that doesn't get sued how is this any different?

Yes they have to protect their copyrighted stuff against others who are trying to use it for profit. However this being an obvious joke was just RIDICULOUS on their part to go and file a suit when it is so obvious..how do you confuse sale of a mythical creature for food as something real? Oh by the way guys I have sasquatch stew and troll marinara sauce for sale as well.

The National Pork Board doesn't mess around... they also went after a woman who made up cafe press shirts promoting breastfeeding when she printed a shirt that said "The other white milk"
