I didn't even know they existed. It's like the wet nurse of Shakespearean times but with a wider reach. New reader; but I'll be back. Very interesting blog. The Milk bank is a great idea.

Lactivists are some tough, well-organized women — just check out all the various <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/07/nyregion/07nurse.html?ex=1275796800&#38;en=0c55cf357d95bd30&#38;ei=5088&#38;partner=rssnyt&#38;emc=rss" rel="nofollow">nurse-ins</a> they coordinate.

If it is, trademark law could stand to be, oh, MORE SANE. I don't think the pork industry can trademark "Blank: The Other Adjective Blank," can they? Yeah, but is it really a threat to trademark?

I don’t think the pork industry can trademark “Blank: The Other Adjective Blank,” can they?

Bad press leaves a long term "sting", period. As someone who reads mostly all those bloggers/blogs mentioned in the NYTimes article, there's certainly a competition to see who can get the latest "scoop" or dish out the dirt and even a snarky tone to the writing, but that's also a reflection of the fast paced competitive, snarky media style that is quintessentially New York. i am wondering if this Mr. Peng is still around and giving lectures here in taipei. I must ask around. Agree with you Barbara, whatever the law is, the end all is the perception of the Pork organization in the minds of the public. Bad press leaves a long term “sting”, period.
