This article made me laugh. There's a bit of a ruckus in the off-brand t-shirt business. It seems as though in an effort to comment on culture, many small shops have taken to producing Christian-themed parodies of famous brands, such as "iPray," "Abreadcrumb & Fish," and giving a nod to the social media world: "Jesus Christ Wants to Be Your Friend."
Although this seems to clearly fall under parody as far as copyright infringement goes, many trademark claims could be made, and if the big companies go after these smaller ones (if they can track them down), they have a clear shot at winning.
Regardless, some are amused and some are not, and some others may get a Christmas surprise this week, when they receive a hockey goalie jersey that says, "Jesus Saves!"
