Ben & Jerry's is Suing a Porno Company

Ben & Jerry's isn't the most conservative company.  They sold a flavor of ice cream called "Schweddy Balls", named after the famous Alec Baldwin "Saturday Night Live" sketch.

 

 

--But NOW we know where they draw the line.  Ben & Jerry's has filed a lawsuit against a PORNO COMPANY, for using their logo to sell pornos with titles that parody Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors.

 

 

--The company they're suing is called Caballero Video, and they created a series of 10 pornos called "Ben & Cherry's."  Each one is named after a Ben & Jerry's flavor, and their packaging looks exactly like the ice cream packaging.

 

 

--For example, one porno is called "Hairy Garcia", and apparently features HAIRY LATINAS.  That's a takeoff of the Ben & Jerry's flavor Cherry Garcia.  Another is "New York Super Fat & Chunky", named after New York Super Fudge Chunk.

 

 

--Ben & Jerry's are seeking unspecified damages in the lawsuit.  They also want the movies taken off the market.

Hmm
Ben & Jerry's might actually lose this. There's something about parody where you don't need permission from the original material's owner. Weird Al doesn't actually need permission from the original artists to do his parody covers. He gets it as a show of respect. I'm interested to see where this goes.
