Over at the La Crosse Tribune there’s a story about the National Pork Board’s cease and desist letter over a parody that described unicorn meat as the “new white meat.” The Pork Board complained over the parody that the website ThinkGeek issued. (The website previously teased about bacon with an imaginary toy called “My First Bacon.”)
There’s a wasteful foolishness – a reflexiveness – in a group that complains about a parody that mentions unicorn meat as being “an excellent source of sparkles.” They’ve simply made themselves look dull and humorless.
