McDonald's finds Nicky D's hard to swallow
McDonald's has sent a "strongly worded letter" warning a Detroit restaurant that it's name, Nicky D's, is a bit too close to the trademarked Mickey D's. The bigger and more absurd issue: the N in the Nicky D's logo looks just like the Golden Arches with a piece missing. When a local reporter pointed this out to Nicky D's owner Zef Dedvukaj, he replied blankly, "Oh, does it? Didn't know, sorry." Dedvukaj adds that his place specializes in corned beef, not burgers, so what's the big deal? It all sounds like something out of an Eddie Murphy movie. Actually, there are plenty of Nicky D's around; it's the sign that'll get Dedvukaj sued. Maybe he should send a little message to his graphic designer, courtesy of the Corned Beef Burglar. |

I wouldn't worry too much soon all of Mac Donalds punters will be dead from over eating and obesity.

This is completely ripping off McDonalds logo. It almost looks as if it is the logo cut in half. In an advertising since I dont see how this will benefit them through consumer base, but it will definitely hurt financially when McDonald's sues them.
