MONDAY, JUL 06
From the great writers over at Media Bistro.
Here is a weird little story out of San Jose, California, where the UPI reports on Pez candy company filing a lawsuit against the Museum of Pez Memorabilia for their building of a nearly eight foot tall Pez dispenser (which they constructed back in 2007 and won them the Guinness World Record for “world’s largest candy dispenser”). Pez is apparently very unhappy with the large recreation of their product and has gone after the museum with a trademark infringement suit, asking that the giant snowman be destroyed. Because, after all, we all know that there’s nothing worse than having your product celebrated and enjoyed. For shame, small museum. Here’s a video about the horrible, horrible snowman:
