Here at Nashville 24/7, we have witnessed the parade of coverage about this particular news item in the dreadful Mainstream Media (MSM) and frankly, we've decided to join the crowd that blames everything on the MSM.

"Why?" you may ask? Because the coverage is fleeting, generally reduced to very short stories (known in the industry as 'kickers') and really never highlights the aggrieved small bidenss in question.

That small bidenss is Think Geek, that we highlighted first in our April Fool edition, and again toward the end of April in our continuing "Shameful Commerce" series.

So here's the thumbnail version of the story, since we know you're in a hurry: ThinkGeek, in the April 1 spirit we mentioned earlier, offered canned unicorn meat as "The New White Meat." Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-!!! The Cease and Desist letter arrived and it's - (Dave Ramsey, please step up to this mic and read this copy:) "TWELVE PAGES LONG!!!!!!!!"

Film at Eleven, or read it here.   In any event, it's another lawyer feeding frenzy.
