More lawsuit fun: WotC sues Pokemon USA, uses the word "tortuous"
Wizards alleges "patent infringement, breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, tortuous interference with a business relationship, unjust enrichment and other claims". Pokemon USA says, "We were sued the day after our distribution agreement with Wizards ended [...] We are confident that we've acted both legally and fairly with respect to Wizards". Mammon, I choose you!

"Torturous" is exactly how I feel about the whole mind numbing stupidity of Pokemon

All those poor ex-WotC employees... Makes ya wonder if Wizards feels they've "gotta catch'em all." *snicker*

Only those former employees who are giving away the company's trade secrets. I hear it is a patent infringement (i.e., trading card game method of play), which WotC have filed with USPTO back in 1997.

I hear that WOTC is going to leak that one employee is a CIA operative....

I think the actual word should be "tortious" but the misquote is pretty funny.

Yeah, it's modern day retelling of a classic fable. You know... the 'tortious' and the hare? *grin*
