So I get this email today and it goes a little something like this:

IDENTIFIED PROBLEM: Web site uses a Nintendo trademark (Donkey Kong) in
the code of the page.
Dear Private, Registration,
We are an Internet monitoring agency representing Nintendo of America
Inc. ("Nintendo"). We are writing to ask you to stop using the Nintendo
properties in the hidden text/visible text/meta tags and/or title and/or
links of the above-referenced sexually explicit Web site. Nintendo's
customers include many children and their parents. Unauthorized use of
Nintendo trademark(s)/work(s) is harmful to those customers and will
tarnish Nintendo's reputation.
We look forward to your immediate confirmation that you have taken the
necessary steps to resolve this matter. To that end, you may email us at
[email protected].
Please note that these are automatic email boxes so typically no
response is sent as long as the problem is corrected.
Sincerely,
Cyveillance

My first thought was, "Goodness! This must be some sort of mistake! I would never sully the name of video gaming's most beloved and pixelated primate!" The blog they reference is purely RSS fed and so I had to rummage through it looking for any references to Donkey Kong. Lo and behold there is one post that contains the phrase, and I quote: "...and its ON LIKE DONKEY KONG."
I'd like some opinions on the matter. Should I remove the offending post out of respect for the company that makes the sweet, sweet Wii console? Or should I create a header that features Princess Peach blowing Donkey Kong while cuck Mario scrutinizes the event?
