Pearson International Airport, of Toronto, Ontario, has threatened legal action against a website for mentioning its name. The site in question is urinal.net, a user-submitted gallery of pissoir photos — including a couple from Pearson. Inexplicably, Pearson has the surplus budget laying about with which to pay some puffed up dillweed to send letters to urinal-gallery sites, threatening to sue them for illegally (sic) putting the name of the airport on said site. I think that some goddamned budget-cuts are in order at Pearson.
The GTAA [Greater Toronto Airports Authority] would like to request that you remove Toronto Pearson International Airport from the title of the page below, including the removal of Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport from within the page. If you choose to keep the photos, we just request that you remove the text below in red. We appreciate your cooperation. We will check back in a week to ensure that this information has been removed. If at that time it has not, we will forward it to the Legal department for subsequent action.
(Thanks, Mike)
