National Pork Board sends Cease and Disist letter over unicorn meat


Recently we got the best-ever cease and desist letter. We're no stranger to the genre, so what could possibly make this one stand out from the rest?

First, it's 12 pages long and very well-researched (except on one point); it even includes screengrabs of the offending item from our site. And we know they're not messing around because they invested in the best and brightest legal minds.

But what makes this cease and desist so very, very special is that it's for a fake product we launched for April Fool's day.

1. Evidently the legal staff at the Pork Board have too much time on their hands.

2. Yet, McDonalds has yet to hear from the American Cetacean Society's lawyers.
