Dr. Phil's Dreamwidth Journal

As You Know, Bob

Long time readers of this LJ blog know that I have a fondness for reporting links for "March 32nd" postings, such as the ones for 2010 here and here, also 2009, 2008 and
2007 here and here.

So It Is With Some Great Amusement...

... that I present you this Cease and Desist letter that the people at Think Geek received, protesting the use of the phrase "The New White Meat" in regards to a canned meat product ad. Yes, the letter was from the National Pork Board, purveyors of "The Other White Meat" slogan.

What makes this so hysterical is that the ad in question was for Radiant Farms Canned Unicorn Meat. Oh yes, the meat that sparkles. Guess on which day they put that ad up on their website. Uh-huh. Right. And no, I don't think they're kidding. Their post shows the first page of a 12 page letter from a law firm.

Of Course I've Always Been Partial To...

This reminds me of a fake article on cannibalism, describing "long pork" as The Other Other White Meat. (snicker)
