AmEx vs. rec.humor.funny

Posted by timothy on from the humorlesson dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I worried that Brad Templeton's humorous reply in rec.humour.funny to the MasterCard threat might put an end to my daily read. I never heard the outcome, but since the column continues and he is using the same response to a suit from American Express, it must have been OK. This guy has more b*lls than I."

    This guy needs to walk into the Mastercard office, find the coffee station, spill the coffee on himself, and scream bloody murder and sue all the way to the bank. It worked against McDonalds, maybe it will work here.

    Don't know if any of these are in the last 30 years (or even if they're true, but hey it's the Internet so I can publish what I like and claim that it is).

    Anyway, it's quite interesting reading, from what seems to be a law firm's website, around protecting/losing trademarks.
