New Hersheys Candies

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Pot-Based Candies

Not really, but Hersheys is suing the California maker of these spoof cannabis candies, 40 year old Kenneth Affolter from Lafayette. That’s right, they’re suing for TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT. Professor Feldman of UCSF law school has this to say: “Does the customer really believe Hershey is making marijuana-laced candy? I don’t think so.

You’re thinking about bad things, illegal things, things that will harm your body when you think of the Hershey mark, and that is terribly damaging to the company and its mark.”

Paris Hilton Incarceration Countdown

T-6.

Less than 1 week until Paris Hilton (a.k.a. “The Antichrist”) goes to the pokie. This could be a sign that maybe there really is a smidgen of justice in the world.

Because I know you want more more more information, you can find out about the special treatment she’s getting in the joint at thesuperficial.com, which may soon become my new favorite Web site.

I can’t help but reminisce fondly about Kathy Hilton (Paris’ mom) outburst when her daughter was convicted. “After all that money we paid!” she screamed. Now, that’s a mom.
