ThinkGeek :: Blurgh! The ThinkGeek Blog - Officially our best-ever cease and desist
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.

"It was never our intention to cause a national crisis and misguide American citizens regarding the differences between the pig and the unicorn," said Scott Kauffman, President and CEO of Geeknet. "In fact, ThinkGeek's canned unicorn meat is sparkly, a bit red, and not approved by any government entity."
We'd also like to extend a special discount to everyone we offended with our portrayal of Unicorn Meat as "the new white meat." For a limited time, take $10 off any order of $40 or more by using the code PORKBOARD at checkout, good until 6/30/2010 at 11:59PM ET.
The PORKBOARD discount is good on any ThinkGeek product, but you might want to check out shirts like

or really anything from . Note: Please excuse the Zombies in the Bacon special interest section, we like to mix our meats.
Finally, thanks, National Pork Board, for giving us yet another reason to keep the April Fool's Day tradition alive. We'll always wonder if our
played some small, magical part in your .

It was unfortunately rejected by the newswires so you won't find it elsewhere--kinda like unicorn meat.
