Every other fast food corporation in the world would do this in a second if the opportunity arose.

Basically this.

Is it a stupid thing to send a C&D letter for? Yes

Do I think they are actually going to be able to legally stop this man from creating T-Shirts? No

So does it matter? Not really

I don't care what a restaurant supports outside of the business.

If they didn't let gays eat there then maybe I'd have a beef. But good lord, when did freedom a speech become taboo?

Also, Moar Chikin fer Me

Congrats to SuperNiceDog! Guru Champ!

Why do people always bring up freedom of speech in response to boycotts? It's not the government suppressing free speech, it's individuals making their own choices based on a company's stance. That said, I think they're kind of pointless.

I've never seen a single "Chick-fil-a" place in my life.

They might have a point if it was misspelled in a similar way but them suing for it saying eat more is just bull#%&*. And the guy is even planning on making a documentary about this. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1674889308/a-defiant-dude

I stopped eating at Chick-fil-a after I learned they fund anti-gay groups.

There are plenty of other reasons as well.

Chick-fil-a is run by racists and homophobes.

Corporate bullying is ridiculous sometimes when it comes to trademarks. I read an article on the trademark of "entrepreneur" that made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

While this is a total BS move, the one quote that article has from a CFA representative is very true. If they don't bring up litigation to protect their trademark, even if they fail in this instance, ignoring the similarities sets the legal precedent that the trademark is weak and can be overturned. For example, the first group of people to parody "Got Milk?" that didn't get slapped down by the Californaia Milk Producers Board openned the way for everybody to parody it because it wasn't being protected.

Is this close enough to warrant litigation? Common sense says no. Common sense has little to do with day-to-day life for most people (I've watched them, people are stupid) and less to do with the law. Even if CFA loses this battle there will no doubt be some affirmation that it has to do with specific properties of their trademark, which means legal precedent will be set to destroy anyone who even dares to misspell "eat more ____" even if they can't do anything to anyone who spells it correctly.

In short, CFA pretty much has to go to litigation over this for the continued rights to their own trademark, even if it doesn't seem like it is even being challenged here. And now that I know they fund anti-homosexual groups I have to stop eating there which sucks :( I'll still show up on Sundays and leave them messages about them being closed for no good reason, though.

SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too.

^Bingo. This is just a protective gesture, it seems like.
