Patent Pending
Scott Ott:
(2004-12-13) -- MoveOn.org, the political action group that recently purchased the Democrat National Committee, today filed an infringement suit against a New York City artist whose portrait of President Bush, formed from monkey heads, caused chaos at Chelsea Market this weekend.
The MoveOn.org suit claims "any representation of Bush and monkeys together without the expressed written consent of MoveOn.org is strictly prohibited."
The suit asks for $950 million in damages and possession of the acrylic-on-canvas work, "Bush Monkeys," by Chris Savido.
"The Bush-chimp thing is our idea," said a MoveOn.org spokesman. "We bought it. We own it. We're going to take it back."
Scrappleface is the best satire site on the web including this smack up side the head to NARAL:
"We decry the inhumanity of the death penalty for a man who simply exercised his choice to end a pregnancy and to end the woman who was harboring an unwanted fetus," said an unnamed NARAL spokesman. "This emotional jury decision shows no respect for Mr. Peterson's reproductive rights. It's a sad day for America and may have a chilling effect on the hundreds of physicians nationwide engaged in similar work."
