etoy.XMAS-CARD FOR TOY.soldiers, SHAREHOLDERS and FRIENDS:
.........................DISNEYLAND-WE-HAVE-A-PROBLEM.....

its unbelievable! as soon as the lights go on at the etoy.XMAS
TREE the smart little etoy.ELVES spot fucked up businessmen
and wounded giants everywhere around the etoy.TANKS again. all
sorts of crazy corporate creatures who are on the etoy.BLACK-
LIST show up and try to hassle the old orange etoy.SANTA-CLAUS.
but the omnipresent etoy.LAWYERS know what they need to do...
....and what they are trained for: to protect the etoy.BRAND!
->AT ALL COSTS! WHATEVER THE AGRESSORS DO: etoy is READY TO:

a)negotiate
b)warn
c)go all the way: fight fire with fire (...&intelligence)
d)..............(fill out an win an etoy.SEALAND-ACCOUNT)

THIS YEARS GUESTS FOR CHRISTMAS EVE: two old fellows who
gambled away trust and respect long time ago.

both companies seek a fight with the playful art-giant. they
want to take the BRAND away. both filed and registered every
TRADEMARK that could hurt etoy. driven by greed and insanity.
one hoping for a "clean brand" before selling off the company:

the other one lurking for some media attention to make cash!

MSG: GO AWAY! NO TRADEMARK-RIGHTS FOR YOU. LEARN TO RESPECT!
this is the last warning shot for eToys Inc & ubermorgen.com
stop your low-end trademark war and hypocritical actions now!

the etoy.TRADEMARK was approved and registered on 12.12.2000:
http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=registration&entry=2411648&action=Request+Status
it took exactly 3 years and 171 days to reach this point. now
etoy is really ready for surreal business & impact management.
stay tuned. information follows.
