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!!!
