Ben & Jerry’s sues porn copycats

Written by

Associated Press, via Huffington Post:

The ice cream maker that introduced the flavors Schweddy Balls and Karamel Sutra sued the maker of “Ben & Cherry’s” X-rated DVDs Wednesday, saying the “hardcore pornographic” films have smeared its reputation.

Caballero Video has produced titles like “Boston Cream Thighs” and “Peanut Butter D-Cup,” and has packaged them to imitate Ben & Jerry’s containers.

    Mmm, “smeared.”

    Porn and ice cream? Thanks, I was looking for ideas of what to do this weekend.

    Unless Ben & Jerry’s has a line of DVD’s this suit will go nowhere.

    This clearly falls under the banner of parody, which is permittable. If it was actionable, about half the titles in porn would be in trouble.
