I see a lot of companies are doing "spoof" logos based on popular brands like Krispy Kremes and Starbucks, Nike, etc.

All I can say is....

YOU ARE NUTS!!!

We got sued by Nabisco for distributing 3 copies of a title by another producer called "Whoreos" which featured scenes of 2 black guys with a white girl... the box had the red triangle in the corner ("more chocolate flavored cocks" instead of "cookies") but other than that i assure you that no one would pick up the box and confuse it for a box of cookies....

WELL THAT DIDN'T MATTER TO A SKYSCRAPER FULL OF ATTORNEYS ON RETAINER FOR R.J REYNOLDS!!!

Parody defense? Yeah right... do you know how much it will cost to win that argument?

I send you all a word of warning. You are inviting trouble and the kind of lawsuit that is just a pain in the ass and a burn of otherwise valuable income.

Now... if anyone gets into trouble guess what?

I GET TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO!!!
