White House sends C&D letter to The Onion over use of Presidential Seal

...there's a certain level at which this makes sense, of course, but c'mon, it's funny.

Nah.

This won't pass. They don't get to prohibit anything.

This comes down to the fundamental right to free speech, and more to the point, it even passes the most conservative of reactionary tests: It's POLITICAL speech. Further, it's SATIRE, which trumps any kind of copyright or trademark, and they're clearly NOT trying to pretend to be anything other than what they are: a satirical newspaper.

There is no way that the White House can even remotely get away with this baloney, and they should be slapped down hard for it.

And this is pretty much were I am, too. Thanks, Foomf.
