I lol'd at at "retraction", because it rhymes with "reaction". Teehee.

This is just damage control, plain and simple. They tried to pull a dick move and got caught in the act. Saying "Our bad" isn't good enough when they knowingly and willingly tried to abuse trademark law to basically monopolize an entire concept. They're only "sorry" that they got caught. They still deserve whatever scorn that gets heaped upon them. If anything, this whole episode should just serve as another example of why we need some serious IP law reform in America (and probably elsewhere).

Yup, I'm hoping the drop continues abs keeps going for another few weeks. Their apology is fake and crap. They basically got caught with their pants down and their heads up each others ####, still derby any of it happened and still claim to be innocent.

I expected as much... I do feel sorry for them in some degree but they really should've foreseen the trouble this caused beforehand.

I really don't think they were trying to be abusive. People are so quick to cry foul. Oh well.

Good, but since i just copyrighted the word "post" all you people commenting here owe me money. If you want to keep posting you need to license the format.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
