When I made up this parody site (much more a parody of Québec society than a parody of Yahoo!), I never thought Yahoo! would notice. Much less that they'd mind. Yahoo! is a company that is built on hipness and humour. Its founders call themselves chief Yahoos. The very name of the company carries the mischievous spirit of the Internet. And that's cool. Well, I feel the limits of that spirit have been tested today.
That point being made, in good faith (having never received any cease and desist letter myself) and understanding the legal Yahoos' points, I've changed the parody site on the 2 points offensive to Yahoo! And asked it to be included in Yahoo!'s "Website_Parodies/Yahoo_/" category:-)
Yahoo! is happy. We now return to our regular programming.
