Lactation activist beats Pork Board in trademark kerfuffle
Corynne sez, "The National Pork Board sent a C&D to Lactivist, a pro-breastfeeding blogger, based on her use (on a t-shirt) of the phrase 'the other white milk.' Instead of being intimidated, the blogger asked her readers to get on the Pork Board' case. They must have done a great job, because within a couple of days the Pork Board actually apologized. Strike one for free speech and the bloggers!"
