TOYWAR.defcon2:
the next aggressor popped out of the toy box....

after eToys failed, one of the most successful
TOY.giants in the world tries to "do business"
with the etoy.CORPORATION: the wonderful
LEGOŽ!.corporation! is this a global
TOY.conspiracy? or just another corporate
lawyer with a LEGOŽ!.brain?

lawyers of the LEGOŽ!.corporation contacted the
owner of the TOYWAR.com resistance site which had
been in peace mode since the dismissal of the
lawsuit against etoy (DEFCON 4 since february
2000). the etoy.MANAGEMENT had its first contact
with the LEGOŽ!lawyers on Wed, 05 Apr 2000,
13:22:49.

the following statements of a corporate counsel
at LEGO Systems was forwarded by an anonymous
TOYWAR.system operator:
__________________________________________________

"...Your site contains images of LEGOŽ elements
such as the two-way radio. Such use causes a risk
of consumer confusion because the presence of the
minifigures and the elements on the site gives
the impression that your site is in some way
related to or endorsed by the LEGO Company. In
addition, your use of foul language, obscene and
violent references in conjunction with images of
our minifigures denigrates the goodwill we have
built up in our products. We do not wish to
have our products associated with such
references....

... As a result, we would ask that you remove all
images of LEGOŽ minifigures and elements from
your Web site immediately"
__________________________________________________

the etoy.CORPORATION immediately triggered a
corporate trademark alert, locked all etoy.TANKS
and started to distribute gas masks for all
involved employees who look like
LEGOŽ!minifigures to cover their faces.

THE COPYRIGHT HYGIENE TASK FORCE STARTED TO EXPEL
ALL TOY CHARACTERS FROM THE etoy.SERVERS IN
TONGA, AMSTERDAM, ZURICH, NEW YORK AND BUDAPEST
WHO COULD NOT IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS
100% LEGO-FREE-PIXEL PRODUCTS OR WHO HAD SEXUAL
CONTACT WITH A LEGOŽ!minifigure WITHIN THE LAST
24 HOURS.

the etoy.LABORATORIES are working on GENETIC
TESTS to check all SHAREHOLDERS and etoy.FANS for
LEGOŽ.genes and LEGOŽ.ideology.

MILLIONS of etoy.TANKS ARE IN MOTION TO ORGANIZE
TOY-PROTECTION AND TO DELIVER INFORMATION ABOUT
THE SITUATION ON THE etoy.WEBSITE.
A NEW CRISIS / LOGISTICS BASE UNDER THE ADDRESS
http://www.etoy.com/ FIGHTS PANIC AND AGGRESSION
AGAINST INNOCENT NO-NAME TOYS.

EXPERTS FEAR TOYWAR II ! MARKET OBSERVERS DON´T
EXPECT THAT THE etoy.CORPORATION IS ABLE TO
EVACUATE ALL TOYS FROM THE TOYWAR.parade
IN TIME. THE etoy.SHARE CRASHED FROM $5,9 TO $3,6
TODAY.

in the mean time 1798 TOYWAR.agents who built the
resistance site http://www.toywar.com/ will need
to make a decision about the future of their
bodies (which could be associated with LEGOŽ!
minifigures by corporate LEGO lawyers) and
potential deportations of comrades who
do not wear gas masks and gloves to hide their
identity!

TOYWAR.agents: please inform your troop and
prepare for a TOYWAR.voting about the future of
the TOYWAR.characters.
