Common sense is obviously rarer than unicorns

So ThinkGeek ran a very entertaining April Fools Day gag this year - selling Canned Unicorn Meat; sparkly, tasty, canned unicorn spam in a can;

"Pâté is passé. Unicorn - the new white meat. "

Mmmmmmmm.


To compound the entertainment value however, they have just now received a 12 page long Cease & Desist legal order from the National Pork Board, who claims ThinkGeek's product is infringing on their slogan "The Other White Meat". Well, I imagine there were red faces all 'round when it was explained it was a joke!

Check out the full amusing details here.


P.S. ThinkGeek are also offering a special discount for a limited time - take $10 off any order of $40 or more by using the code PORKBOARD at checkout.
