A
while back, a Goldeneye 007 fan submitted a funny graphic
of Barney the dinosaur getting his head blasted off during
a gunfight with James Bond. This image was immediately posted
on the website because of its entertainment value.
Unfortunately, not everyone has a since of humor. The people
who own the exclusive rights to this children's character
didn't think it was very funny. They decided to get their
attorneys involved, claiming that this was an unauthorized
use of intellectual property.
It's surprising that a major company could even be bothered
with a quick little "copy & paste" creation.
You'd think that rich executives would have better things
to do with their time and money, but apparently not.
In a statement by an over-priced lawyer sitting at a mahogany
desk, it was declared that this material should be removed
immediately. Bold text was even used to draw attention
to key points.
