“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.

“It wasn’t the iCade, or the Dharma Initiative Clock, or even
the Tribbles ‘n’ Bits Breakfast Cereal.

“No, it was the Canned Unicorn Meat.”
