Chick-fil-A is claiming that consumers
are confused between its slogan “Eat Mor Chikin”
and a Vermont artist’s “Eat More Kale” t-shirts.

But who can’t tell the difference between chicken and kale?

Chick-fil-A is still bullying Vermont artist Bo Muller-Moore
to stop using the slogan “Eat More Kale.”

Should corporate bullies be allowed to ruin small businesses

because of their frivolous well-financed trademark claims?

Nope, but that is the culture you have over there.....

I didn't read the article, but to answer your question, no. In this case, I see no infringement. How can anyone claim the right to the words "Eat More" whatever? If I were the artist, I would worry about it and kindly tell Chick-fil-a to fuck-off-a.

This is same McDonald's have been doing for years. "Mc-anything" was chased down by corporate lawyers.

There was a tax preparation guy in my home town in CA who had a business called McTax. McDonald's harassed him into changing the name.

Based on the politics of said restaurant chain, an "Eat More Kyle" retort over this would be hilarious.

Tell Shit-Fil-A to shove it up their ass sideways.

Is Kyle cute, and available???

Hmmmmmm....Isn't he one of Cartman's boyfriends?

"Is Kyle cute, and available???"
That all depends on what you call cute, but messing with a 4th grader will land you in jail.

"Hmmmmmm....Isn't he one of Cartman's boyfriends?"
He's the one Cartman always picks on when he's not picking his nose.

Sorry, I gotta exercise my prejudiced redneck side. I HATE KALE!

In the latest development to stem from "Ducky Dynasty" star Phil Robertson's
homophobic and racist comments in a recent GQ profile (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/18/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson-gay_n_4465564.html)
and subsequent suspension from A&E (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/18/phil-robertson-duck-dynasty_n_4469887.html),
an unnamed group has launched "Chick-Phil-A" day (http://www.kpho.com/story/24308802/national-chick-phil-a-day-movement-starting-on-facebook),
encouraging Robertson supporters to wear
"Duck Commander or camouflage gear"
and "eat at Chick-fil-A" on Jan. 21.



Organized through Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/chickphiladay), the group claims
that it has no affiliation with Chick-fil-A or Phil Robertson,
but is "independent and organized from a grassroots view."

According to TMZ, the fast food chain stated (http://www.tmz.com/2013/12/25/chick-fil-a-phil-robertson-facebook-group-statement/#ixzz2oYJMgb00)
that the event "is in no way sponsored by or
affiliated with Chick-fil-A."

With almost 25,000 likes on Facebook, however,
the campaign is picking up steam through social media.

I like kale just fine. Collard greens, brussels sprouts, broccoli and okra are tasty as well.

[NQ6U]

JJ Kale is my favorite. John Kale, not so much.

[kb2vxa]

Yeah, but kale is spinach with balls, Kyle is spinach with Matzoh balls, Cartman is... well... Cartman.
