On March 24th, Killrape Corporation, which bills itself as "the world's premier evil corporation," filed suit in a Tennessee court, accusing SANDWICH of trademark infringement. Killrape claims that SANDWICH's new "Deathbringer" missile prototype is similar to their totally different "Killbringer" missle, currently sold internationally. They claim their trademarked name and logo, a burning skeleton with a large erection, were used by SANDWICH without a licensing deal in place.

"Our logo is of a monkey skeleton, not a human one. The Killrape suit is so appallingly unfounded it makes me laugh," said SANDWICH PR Division head Lucy Fairfax, laughing. "It's so ridiculous that we have decided to crush Killrape once and for all under the weight of our fearsome lawyers."

The SANDWICH countersuit details four instances of trademark infringement and several cases of patent infringement. Most notably, Killrape's new street drug "BLAM" is said to violate SANDWICH's patented "SLAM" high intensity ghetto narcotic. Some mechanisms from SANDWICH's "Captain Ouchy" detonating child amusement device are said to have been used by Killrape in their new "Rockin' Bodyshredder" teen-killing mascot.

"We've had SLAM in inner cities since the late eighties," said Fairfax. "Junkies report that the BLAM high features euphoria, fearlessness and eventual blacking out - just like SLAM. Also, we abhor Killrape's murderous attitude towards teens, as embodied by the Rockin' Bodyshredder. The madness must stop."

SANDWICH has assigned their elite Legalmacht squadron of lawyers to the case. The Legalmacht squadron, although highly secretive, is considered the most dangerous group of attorneys ever collected in one unit. They are kept deep underground, and are raised from a young age as ruthless corporate lawyers, often going for weeks without food. Some say even brief exposure to the sun would blind them.

"This case was over before it began," claims Fairfax. "The outcome is assured: Killrape Corp. will be ground to a fine paste under the merciless heel of SANDWICH."

Saying the legal assault was "only one option," Fairfax would not rule out SANDWICH deploying an ICBM strike or ninja clown attack force against Killrape Headquarters.
