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.

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 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.
