Facebook Pre-Emptively Sued by Lamebook

Lamebook pre-emptively suing Facebook first as a response to standard "cease and desist" letter sent a couple of months ago may be the funniest thing about the parody site.

Remember how Harvard University dormitories had used the word “Facebook” to refer to their collections of residents’ profiles and photos – and other schools similarly used the word to describe student directories — long before Mark Zuckerberg copyrighted the word? I think of this whenever I read about Facebook’s legal moves related to its name.

So Lamebook pre-emptively suing Facebook first as a response to standard “cease and desist” letter sent a couple of months ago has to be the funniest thing about the parody site.
