heh, i saw that yesterday. =D PS, GET YOUR ASS ON AIM OBI!
I'm so glad when there's people in real life lashing back at annoying or unkind practices by corporations online. It makes me feel like there's real people on the internet, however much I know it to be false.
Absolutely awesome! That's hilarious! :D

American Greetings forced Penny Arcade to take down a comic strip, over some stupid reason. I think there was some legal action involved, not sure, but it's good to see people reap what they sow.

What happened is that they did a parody of "Alice" where the creater of "Alice" did a game about Strawberry Shortcake, which was rather graphic. American Greatings got some leagal action to force them to take it down. After this, they made this comic, which I find quite funny (go .Here (http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2003-04-27&res=l) to see it.) I know some one who has a copy of the comic which was taken down saved on there computer. I'll see if I can't get a copy of it.
Here is the comic. http://armageddongames.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71317
