Toho Company vs. Subway?
Journal Entry: Tue Apr 29, 2008, 8:15 PM
Thursday Toho Studios filed a $150,000 lawsuit against Subway in U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles) claiming that the sandwich franchise did not seek their approval in using the likeness of "Godzilla" for an advertising campaign.
The complaint filed states: Subway, "not only intentionally created a character that closely resembles Godzilla in its physical appearance, but placed the character in a setting, a Japanese city under attack, that is widely associated with Toho's Godzilla films. Subway never asked Toho's permission to use Godzilla in the commercials for its ``Five Dollar Footlong'' sandwich promotion."
The adds, which feature a giant monster menacing a young Japanese woman, were aired during this years NCAA men's basketball tournament and during "American Idol."
Toho is reportedly seeking up to $150,000 in statutory damages for willful infringement or disgorgement of Subway's profits from the ads, as well as other unspecified damages

REAL FRIENDS: Is the reason you have no food.
FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr / Mrs
REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM
FAKE FRIENDS: Never seen you cry
REAL FRIENDS: Cry with you
FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back
REAL FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours
FAKE FRIENDS: Know a few things about you
REAL FRIENDS: Could write a book about you with direct quotes from
you
FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing
REAL FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds butt that left you
FAKE FRIENDS: Would knock on your front door
REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say 'I'M HOME!'
FAKE FRIENDS: Are for awhile
REAL FRIENDS: Are for life
FAKE FRIENDS: Will talk bad to the person who talks bad about you.
REAL FRIENDS: Will knock the person out that talked bad about you
FAKE FRIENDS: Would ignore this
REAL FRIENDS: Will send this to all their real friends and hope to
get it back!
If you were killed today, I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to come to
your funeral, because I'd be in jail for killing the person who did
it.
First, I wanted to let you know that I love you to death & think
you are amazing!
Second, if I don't get this back I understand...
I have a game for you. Once you read this letter, you must send it to
14 people that you really care about, including the person that
sent it to you. If you receive at least 7 back then you are
