The Angel Moroni (Buzzed on Coffee)

Theres a place in Utah called "Just Add Coffee." These guys have some fun.

They were selling this T-shirt. It had the Angel Moroni on it drinking coffee from his trumpet! Now the LDS "Mormon" Church has asked them to stop selling the shirt.

The guys got a letter from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, specifically its intellectual-property office. The letter and takes issue with an advertising campaign for the coffeehouse that spoofs the angel Moroni, an LDS Church trademark.

T-shirts being sold at the coffee shop also featured an image of the angel Moroni, the golden statue of a guy in a robe blowing a trumpet that sits atop many LDS temples. In the "Just Add Coffee" version, Moroni's trumpet is angled upward as nice hot coffee from a pot is poured into it.

The coffee shop owners were officially informed that the image of Moroni is a registered trademark of the LDS Church. The letter also requested that Just Add Coffee discontinue use of the image in advertising campaigns.

The locally owned coffee shop began featuring the image on greeting cards about a year ago, and then started featuring it on T-shirts just before Christmas. The coffee shop owners were not aware that the image was a trademark until the church let them know.

The LDS church confirmed that they own the trademark to Maroni........I suppose that is only fair, after all they made him up didn't they?

Oh my, what if Jesus comes back and starts asserting trademark rights to his stuff....watch out all you people who have said "Jesus H. or Jesus ****ing --Christ?"

Some people will be broke!
