A Utah coffee-shop made a funny t-shirt that showed coffee being funnelled into the trumpet of the Angel Moroni (a sigil that tops Mormon temples — the Church enjoins caffeine hot drinks). The LDS Church threatened to sue for trademark infringement, so they got an even better design:
It shows a giant hand from the sky pouring the java – which the LDS Church urges its members to abstain from drinking – into a disembodied trumpet.
The caption: "The Lord giveth, and a church taketh away."
Store owners Ed Beazer and Van Lidell insist it's just harmless repartee, albeit a tad one-sided.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints isn't talking about the new design and whether it violates the trademark.
(Thanks, Amanda!)
