Geek Squad Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter To God Squad
An anonymous reader writes "A Wisconsin priest has God on his car but Best Buy's lawyers on his back. Father Luke Strand at the Holy Family Parish in Fond Du Lac says he has received a cease-and-desist letter from the electronics retailer. From the article: 'At issue is Strand's black Volkswagen Beetle with door stickers bearing the name "God Squad" in a logo similar to that of Best Buy's Geek Squad, a group of electronics troubleshooters. Strand told the Fond du Lac Reporter that the car is a creative way to spur discussion and bring his faith to others. Best Buy Co. tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it appreciates what Strand is trying to do, but it's bad precedent to let groups violate its trademarks.'"

Okay, here's an interesting question for you. You're Best Buy, and you see a priest with a Volkswagen Beetle and a "God Squad" logo that looks pretty much just like a Geek Squad car. What do you do?
Answer: you sue the priest, and get ready for a big backlash. After all, what good can ever come of a big corporate behemoth slapping a lawsuit against someone who's just trying to spread the good word?
Seriously? "big backlash", "the good word"? Is this a tech blog you linked to? If I were Best Buy, I'd do the same if some moron was using my look for their fear mongering.
BestBuy views priests as competing for the same age group of young boys. "Hmm... Geek Squad 'tard or anal rape recipient."
Trolling is a art,

Grow the fuck up already. Stop it with the hate mongering. You just cannot stand the idea that you are not center of the universe and that you are not in full control of your destiny. I suggest that you get some help Mr. Atheist because you seem inordinately preoccupied with a god that you allegedly do not believe in and the followers of said god. Why don't you just admit to yourself that you are a deluded satanist already and that you are a willing puppet of the anti-christ. It's not too late to give up your inflated ego and allow god to redeem you. Life is worth living when you live it to help others rather than your own personal gain.
Look around you. This most recent economic crisis should teach you that the pursuit of money is a foolish exercise and that true wealth comes from friends and family. It is the only real wealth that you can bring with you into the afterlife.

Well said. It seems that atheists are awfully concerned about the God of the Universe these days.
Athiesm is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.
They're atheists... it all became clear now.
Atheism isn't always a true religion.... maybe sometimes it's a way of providing people "plausible deniability" for the time when they come to be judged.
They think they'll get leniency by claiming " I was atheist... I didn't know any better."
They aren't anticipating (Judge bangs the gavel) Ignorance or disbelief of the law is no excuse
