Hold on, Maps is a poor example, I have a functional but low end Garmen GPS. Do you know where it gets its maps. It has them stored inside it. This is why it bugs me to hook it up to the internet for a map update (only $60). This is also why when I took it with me to japan it was basically a paper weight.

My understanding is that the cosmetics industry has a huge problem with counterfeit products. Many of the products are available online and it can be difficult to stop the sellers of these products. The counterfeit cosmetics are rarely made to quality or safety standards that the law requires and consumers expect.

Worse, this could seriously damage the Red Cross brand. If they start getting involved in the culture wars (a term I despise, but can not improve upon) they will lose there long earned reputation as an impartial provider of aide to those in need.
This sort of action significantly reduces the likelihood of my donating to their usually good cause.
They need to stick to their core "business" and avoid controversy.

>> How many Mickey Mouse cartoons have you seen lately ...?

>>Mickey is used as a logo, and in merchandising.... but not as a character ?

You are joking right? I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don't have a small child and the disney channel. I only visit folks with TV, but with toddler in tow I have seen the mickey mouse clubhouse show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse_Clubhouse
The animation is 3d, but they captured the whole fixed ear position from the original.
