Lamebook Sues Facebook Over Trademark Infringement

Posted by samzenpus on from the when-parody-attacks dept.

designersdigest writes "Here's a head scratcher, at first glance at least: Lamebook, a hilarious advertising-supported site that lets Facebook users submit funny status updates, pictures and 'other gems' originating from the social network, is apparently suing Facebook over trademark infringement."

    Here's what's ACTUALLY happening. Until this article, I had never heard of lamebook. They (or anybody else) sue facebook, and they get tons of publicity, publicity that they can't afford to actually pay for. With the lawsuit, they get it for free, and it's good publicity instead of bad because they are doing the suing.

    They are not making a mockery of the system, the system has been at the funny farm for quite some time. They are just playing by the same 'rules' that Facebook are. Going after legit businesses with 'book' in their name is just as farcical as this.
