Save a Pig, Boycott Pork
My friend Jennifer Laycock who runs Search Engine Guide and The Lactivist has been threatened by the National Pork Board for selling a shirt that says “the other white milk”. The reason they are threatening to sue her is because they think she is violating their trademark “the other white meat”.
Sure, female breasts are plump and juicy but who the hell is going to think of pork when they see a slogan like that? Come on. Obviously just another case of big corporation trying to bully the little guy. Well they obviously don’t know what they just got themselves into but they’ll soon learn their lesson, you just don’t mess with the blogosphere. We fight back and in the end it will be a big loss for the pigs, or maybe it’s a win for them (the little piggys) since less of them will be slaughtered in the coming weeks.
I’ve boycotted pork for years because beef just simply tastes better, but now I have another reason. If you want to help consider emailing the following folks…
