Breastmilk.... the other white milk

In case you don't read The Lactavist she has recently been issued a C&D letter regarding a shirt she created in her CafePress store. The shirt had the slogan "Breastmilk... the other white milk" Apparently the National Pork board thinks this slogan is not only in violation of their trademark but also the slogan ""tarnishes the good reputation of the National Pork Board's mark in light of your apparent attempt to promote the use of breastmilk beyond merely for infant consumption, such as with the following slogans on your website in close proximity to the slogan "The Other White Milk." "Dairy Diva," "Nursing, Nature's Own Breast Enhancement," "Eat at Mom's, fast-fresh-from the breast," and "My Milk is the Breast.""

Um yeah, it's ever so apparent that Lactavist is running an adult fetish site there! What is it with people?? You would think the pork board would take this opportunity to support breastfeeding and it's mother's (who just happen to be their consumers)... hmm maybe more chicken on my menu in the very near future!

If you would like to tell the Pork board just how you feel here is some contact info
