National Pork Board sends C&D to Thinkgeek for "canned unicorn meat"

Yes, I'm a bit slow with posting this one, but it's suitably hilarious for a Friday. Thinkgeek received a cease and desist from the National Pork Board who claimed that they were infringing on the slogan "The Other White Meat" with their April fools ad for Canned Unicorn Meat - it's sparkly.

Luckily, the Sisters at Radiant Farms, where the unicorns are nursed through old age before being slaughtered, canned, and brought to market at ThinkGeek, have nothing to worry about--this kind of use is protected as a parody. (We're hoping the NPB doesn't tell the Sisters that unicorns don't actually exist; it'd break their little sparkly hearts.)
