Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 4:23 PM
So you remember our "Halloween Dress-Up" issue, right? The one where we disguised the Mercury as an issue of National Geographic, right?
And you also know that the yellow band and distinctive design of National Geographic is a registered trademark that falls under protection of copyright laws… right? Then you can probably imagine my surprise (or lack thereof) when I received a very official looking letter in the mail this week from (ULP!) National Geographic themselves! Here's what they had to say about our stupid little "Halloween Dress Up" issue…
Whew! Yet another narrow escape! See? Not everybody in the world is a humorless dick. Well, what are you waiting for? Follow me to the National Geographic site and let's get a subscription!
