ThinkGeek in Trouble for Selling Unicorn Meat

[JMcEntegart]

Every year on April Fools' Day ThinkGeek adds a few products to its homepage that are both completely fake and gloriously unrealistic, like a Betamax to HD-DVD converter or a USB stick home pregnancy test.

It took them 3 months to file a C&D order?

And unicorn meat is yummy!

apologized to the National Pork Board for both the misunderstanding and "for their awkward extended pause on the phone after we had explained our unicorn meat doesn't actually exist."

EPIC!

Discounted or not I would never buy any food products from a company that does not know the difference between unicorn and pork meat.
Who knows if they are really selling pork meat.
Did they really believe they were selling unicorn meat?
What a bunch of morons!

This is what I call real news.

This is what I call real fun news.

"It was never our intention to cause a national crisis and misguide American citizens regarding the differences between the pig and the unicorn"

HAHAHAHAHA!!! dumb.

 

[Pyroflea]

Of **** off already. It's a joke, let them have their fun without being ******** about it.

Aside from the fact that satire is constitutionally protected speech, horse meat is illegal to sell for human consumption in most, if not all, jurisdictions in the US. Besides, that looks more like corned beef than Spam.

Quite a shame. Luckily it's only taboo here, not illegal. I could have have some fat horse steaks with my father, but my mother would kill us both...

Awesome in ThinkGeek's behalf. I checked out their site though, and I didn't find a single item that I though would be worth throwing down some cash and using that coupon for though. Too bad.
