Lamebook Suing Facebook. Huh?
Posted in: Today's ChiliIt’s like Goliath versus a snarky, snarky little David. Lamebook, a tiny Austin-based Facebook satire site is suing the social networking giant–over trademark infringement. It’s an odd turn of events at first glance, sure.
After all, Lamebook is really just an aggregator of humorous Facebook content–an aggregator with a decidedly Facebook-esque design scheme.
Thing is, Facebook threatened to sue Lamebook first, and Lamebook appears to be attempting to nip the whole thing in the bud. The site is looking for a declaratory judgment to prove that it’s not doing anything thing wrong.
I understand the need to get someone’s attention, but what the heck happened to good old fashioned poking?
