A picture with the mascot playing Baseball would have been a better picture.

Satire doesn’t mean you can’t make money.

Yea but these guys were trying to make a profit on it so clearly the motivation was not satire. And if it was satire… well I don’t get it.

It depends if it IS infringement. If it is used for a specific purpose (satire especially, or to make analytical or critical comment) it is allowed.

Regardless of how stupid this topic is I am surprised so many voters are in favor of trademark infringement.
I guess that means if you created something it would be fine for anyone to use it to make money however they pleased?
Did people actually read the poll?
