South Butt Responds To North Face As Only It Could
from the face-and-a-butt dept
You gotta love snarky legal filings. We've already covered the ongoing saga between the clothing company behind The North Face and a teenager who started a parody line of clothing called The South Butt (short version, TNF got mad and despite lots of public outcry in favor of TSB, TNF's parent company sued). You already knew that the folks behind The South Butt wouldn't necessarily respond in a conventional manner. They had already set up a Facebook app to see if people could tell the difference between a face and a butt.
But reader Dez points us to the news that the South Butt folks have filed their response and it's well worth reading in its entirety:
The "half ass" design portion of The South Butt logo is comprised of two stripes curved in a butt-like fashion upward from the left side of the "The South Butt" text, while the "half dome" design mark of the North Face is comprised of three thinner lines curved downward from the right side of the text "The North Face."I'm not sure how the judge will take the filing, but it's definitely amusing. Either way, it still amazes me that The North Face thought that filing this lawsuit made any sense at all. Someone got bad advice.

If they allow cameras in this court case, I would pay to watch it.

What's the world coming to?
Seriously though, the commenter above who mentioned that 'a judge with a sense of humor' will certainly help is probably right, although one thing the civil court system really needs is more briefs like this one.
Personally, if I lived in Missouri, I'd write down the address of that kids legal team and run, not walk, to them if I ever needed legal advice or services. They're my kind of people and, as lawyers go, probably rarer than living dinosaurs...

truly excellent
I remember long ago when a group spliced the Gilligan's Island theme lyrics into Stairway to Heaven's music, and gave it a reggae feel, producing a work of sheer excellence.
Zeppelin sued, of course. Years later, I heard Robert Plant being interviewed. They asked him about Zeppelin parodies, and he reeled off several with glee, including that one and Hairway to Steven. So contrary to what I had thought, he does have a sense of humor. Having said that, I imagine that when his legal team sues and he makes money therefrom, he just probably shrugs and enjoys the cash.
