Hands off Our Hobbit!

The Hungry Hobbit Cafe in Birmingham has received a letter from attorneys representing the Saul Zaentz Company claiming that the name is in breach of copyright.  The letter claims that visitors to the cafe would assume that it is associated with the vastly successful film franchise and therefore cause confusion.  It suggests that the small, privately owned business slowly faze out its name on menus, serviettes and the outside of the cafe for a new title.  They better not call it Nibbles is all we can say.  The cafe is in fact named as an homage to Tolkien, who grew up in the area.

Chipmunks Cause Outrage in Stockholm

Chipmunks have nothing to do with Christmas?  Well visitors to the Stockholm landmark Svampen (‘The Mushroom’) would agree.  Having turned up to witness the unveiling of this year’s Christmas decorations, visitors were appalled to see a display of Alvin and the Chipmunks revealed.  Apparently they only had a permit for a tree and four Santas, and the chipmunks will be gone by the end of the week.

World’s Biggest Lips Announced
