Copyright Woes: Part 1
Jessica’s birthday is soon and I was out ordering her Hello Kitty cake. Most grocery stores have specialty cakes, like Hello Kitty cakes, complete with purses and mirror compacts. We like frosting (who doesn’t), so I tried getting the Hello Kitty face made of frosting instead of having a compact pressed into the cake. They wouldn’t do this, because it was a copyright violation. That’s right, you heard this correctly. You cannot put Hello Kitty on the Hello Kitty cake. You can put a HK compact on it. You can put a HK rice paper stamp on it. But you can’t make it out of frosting.
Four stores refused, so I’m going to do it myself. The world is a better place. Oh, and screw you, you copyright nazis.
