Logo Parody Exhibit Shut Down by L.A.P.D.?!?

May 14, 2005, 2:41 AM

I'm currently busy at work on the TARGETED exhibit intro essay and will certainly include this frightening example of what seems to be a trend where brand owners are turning to the courts and law enforcement to prorect their precious identities.
