Warner Brothers is suing Magic X, a Swiss maker of prophylactics, over the company's product, Harry Popper condoms (more here from the Guardian). The studio is alleging WB's attorney says, "'The image of my client is in danger. This is clearly a reference to the film and fictional character Harry Potter. Everyone who sees the condoms automatically thinks of Harry Potter.'" [Really? People associate Harry Potter and sex? When I look at the Harry Popper image, frankly, I think of pickles. Very hairy pickles. But that's just me.]
I don't make up the stories, folks, I just blog 'em.
