We at FBN have consulted our lawyers, Huntum and Beatum, and have been notified that "Tastes Like Chicken" is a registered trademark of the following music group: netzone.com Therefore, on their behalf, we are issuing an order for you to cease and desist using that name. May we suggest "Tastes Kind of Like Chicken", "Chicken Like Taste" or perhaps something more descriptive such as "Tastes Like Wyandotte Chicken"? Thank you. - Jeff (FBN Director of R&D)

TLC, since you are my highest paying customer for legal advice I'll gladly share my opinions with you. These furry bunny freaks are clearly stepping on your toes when it comes to the oversized animal arena. However, I'm sure you'll be in a large legal fight if you press the issue based on copyright infringement. Arguably, your copyright may only pertain to the class of animals which contain Birds. I think the bunnies would definately make a strong case that, as mammals, they are not infringing on your copyrights. I would also expect to see support for the bunnies from some of those loser animal rights organizations. They might say they are "animal" rights groups, but, let's face it: those damn mammals are going to stick together. So, how should you present your case? A simple one word answer will suffice: fraud. Giant bunnies? Give me a break. They don't exist. This is a scam. It's obviously a scheme orchestrated by some higher power (Maybe Larry Ellison of Oracle; you're connection to Microsoft may be weighing heavily on his mind and you've unwittingly forced him into the large animal business) to try and challenge your dominance in the giant animal industry. Anyway, I think exposure of this fraud will be the best avenue to maintaining your dominant position. Let's be honest with ourselves: giant bunnies are not believable, but, giant chickens? It's a no brainer. You've provided a detailed story of how you came into existence. Those bunnies have nothing. It'll be FUR-X by the time you're done with them. Good luck, Gary
