DC COMICS/WARNER BROTHERS BAN ALL PARODIES
No Exceptions!! (Not even for harmless stuff)

Apparently, DC Comics/Warner Brothers have co-opted the word ‘Super’;
any trademark with ‘Super’, is viciously attacked (even if it doesn’t
fly). No exceptions, not even for harmless parodies such as ‘Super
Cockroach’, ‘Super Toilet Man’, and especially ‘Superrabbi’ (looks too
much like Superman – same beard, same hat, same blue and white socks,
same sandals, same yellow shirt, etc…).

“We do not tolerate any competition, none whatsoever”, said Patrick
Larkins, chief council and executioner for DC Comics/Warner
Brothers.
“And we definitely don’t do any funny stuff”, he said.
“Besides, if we had a sense of humor, we’d be comic book writers or
script writers, not humorless attorneys.”
