falcor has a posse

ive always wondered what it takes to be caught in copyright and trademark hocus pocus (ie law-breaking). well today i found out. incredible. this was definitely the highlight of my day. heck - my week. it started about 3 days ago when i tried to make a t-shirt with this sweet image above that has origins linked to 'obey the giant' and the never ending story (for more on obey the giant visit www.obeygiant.com) i was actually very excited about this t-shirt that i was going to wear supporting both obey and my childhood hero falcor. rock on falcor. but today those dreams were temporarily shattered when i recieved this email:

wow. they actually looked at my shirt - called me out - and went as far as to stop production. you mean someone else out there know who falcor is? i want to meet them. maybe they have a rocketpack as well. in the meantime i try another online shirt-printing company, so if you see me in the following weeks with a sweet shirt on - you know ill have overcome the man.

blast it
