The second installment of the ongoing battle between the worlds leading board game company and Alec Monopoly. Scroll down to read the second leaked Cease & Desist letter below.
****
Dear Mr. Andon,
We still haven’t received a response to our first letter, so we are performing our due diligence by reaching out one last time.
We have devoted decades to facilitating all the pleasure of capitalism in a relaxing, gamified format, so we actually enjoy the process of lawyering, leveraging and intrigue that is corporate law. That means we were pleasantly surprised to find out the culture surrounding graffiti is so comfortably familiar. There are rules, but those rules favor the ruthless. Uncle Moneybags would certainly approve.
Therefore, while we wait for the dust to settle in the courtrooms, we are going to continue to “take it to the streets,” as the kids say.
Our researchers have discovered that there are even greater “disses” that we can engage in than just “buffing” a mural that violates our copyright. Please be patient with us, as we learn the ins and outs of a “beef,” but rest assured, this is a formal notification that we have reached that level.
We made a couple changes to the mural at 7624 Melrose Ave. It was pointed out to us that “toy” has a deeper meaning than we were aware of in “the culture,” and how fitting, for an artist of your obsessively-superficial character. Therefore, we made sure to “go over” the piece this time, instead of just erasing it. Our research found this tactic to be even more disrespectful.
Although we love to play games, we also tend to win them. We surmise, Mr. Andon, based on your trifling body of work, that you must love to play games as well. But we want to assure you that when you play with the Hasbro Corporation, you are only playing yourself.
Now consider yourself warned.
