Thursday, November 1st, 2007: Dateline, Marhsall TX. Oster sues a long list of internet sites including Will it Blend, YouTube, and Engadget for infringing upon a little known advertising campaign from the summer of 1895 hailing the mircles of Oster's then amazing hand-crank blender. In addition, Zenith is also suing YouTube for sounding too much like BoobTube, za trademark of thiers. Lindt Choloates is suing mother nature for the conch sounding too much like conche. And Coleman Charcoal products is suing Gary Coleman for all $5.73 he has to his name.
In other un-related news, the world has gone nucking futs.
But seriously, what the hell. Show me a product that hasn't ripped off another product or idea, granted most of these has royalties and the like paid, but still. I've never heard of WiLan. FFS they have a "Litigation Update" section of thier website. it's just plain sad.
I was watching 'Future Weapons' on discovery this morning, they featured an M32 grenade launcher with the Hell-HOUND rounds. Anyone fancy a drive by?
If this crap keeps going on, soon no-one in the US will bother creating anything new, or selling it in the US. Sometimes I'm glad I don't live stateside.
