Journal metlin's Journal: BMW Sues Adult Search Engine

Journal by metlin on Thursday October 14, 2004 @11:19AM

Hmm, as always, yet another Slashdot story rejection. Reasons unknown.

Anyway, apparently the German auto giant BMW has sued AskJolene.com - an adult search engine. And why? Because searches for the word BMW turns up porn sites with pictures of people, hmmm, doing stuff on BMW cars.

And they've been sued for trademark violations for that.

You can see the actual cease and desist letter.

Strange. And fucked up in a very literal sense.
