    Sorry, no. Parody is covered under federal fair use laws.

    LMAO, best idea ever.

    He will win because none of his products cross trademark, his logo and theirs are different, its their own fault for chosing two stupid lines as a trademark. And there is a disclaimer right there on the site.

    Plus the fact, you can't buy publicity like this.

    Proving once again that corporations and lawyers have too much time and money, and no sense of humor.

    While "parody" IS covered under "Fair Use", selling merchandise in conjunction with a "parody" might not be.

    Yeah it is. Southpark couldn't sell anything otherwise. They rip everything off. This has been through the courts a few times and ironed out pretty clearly.
