Police mascot shot by gunman
On a T-shirt. And the police were not happy about it, as this news report shows:
Three men have been charged with trademark infringement for printing and selling the t-shirts back in 2006. The men had failed to obtain permission from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police before using an illustration of their mascot, Pipo-kun.
Although the shirts has originally been sold for 3,150 yen apiece at a store in Shinjuku, but sales were poor and after several price decreases the men actually ended up giving away some of the unsold shirts for free.
Do you support the decision to charge the t-shirt's creators?
