So you feel in need of a little spiritual comfort and can't get out to get to church? Want someone to make a house call? The God Squad will happily come by, but maybe not with its recognizable "God Squad" logo on its little VW Bug. Best Buy, which owns the Geek Squad (those tech nerds) trademark has loosed a plague of lawyers upon Father Luke Strand, who has been tooling around in his God Squad car, bringing comfort to the locals, alleging that his logo and his use of the car (even with a clerical collar on it) sails (get it?) too close to the Geek Squad mark.
Hmmm. Does Best Buy really think people will confuse Geeks and God? (Though I realize there's more to the argument than this.) At any rate, I note that Father Luke's license plate reads "GODLVYA." Awfully close to "GODIVA." Isn't Father Luke worried that the famed Chocolatier will pounce on him? But seriously, folks....
