The article said:
A trademark parody must convey two simultaneous and contradictory messages: that it is the original, but also that it is not the original and is instead a parody. While a parody must call to mind the actual product to be successful, the same success also necessarily distinguishes the parody from the original product.

To be, and not to be, that is the Conundrum.

Loved this ever since I first saw it. I wanna know where I can get the bumper sticker...

Coat of Arms in Keizer had them a few years back. Free, if you were a customer at the time. No idea if he still uses them as a promo or not...
