Don't Touch My Unicorn
Lawyers for the National Pork Board sent a 12-page "cease and desist" letter to the ThinkGeek website telling them to stop marketing unicorn meat with the phrase "the new white meat," which the pork board claims a trademark on. Of course, Think Geek isn't actually selling unicorn meat. The ad it put together was an April Fool's stunt.
Corrections: This item has been corrected to read "new white meat" and "trademark," rather that "other white meat" and "copyright."
