McDonalds has been doing this for years.  Anything that comes out that 
starts with "Mc" gets hammered.  They are worried someone will mistake the 
new thing for something McDonalds is putting out.  I hate to tell them their 
stuff isn't that great that people really care.

Volkswagen is another good one.  They will denounce anything aircooled they 
put out years ago, but whoa nelly try using the word "bug" or "bus" in your 
advertising and their wolf-like lawyers will get ahold of you in an instant.

So does this mean our cars aren't painted "Olympic" gold anymore?
