I Didn't Need Those Johnson & Johnson Products Anyway

Do these idjits not have a public relations department? Really.

Johnson & Johnson sues American Red Cross over use of emblem.

Johnson & Johnson, the health-products giant that uses a red cross as its trademark, sued the American Red Cross on Wednesday, demanding that the charity halt the use of the red cross symbol on products it sells to the public.

Suing the Red Cross. Yes, this should go over well. I'm sure you could go lower, like maybe kicking a grandmother out of her wheelchair and into the gutter while stealing her last $20 and then kicking her dog on your way out, but this is right up there.

And now, the money quote:

"For a multibillion-dollar drug company to claim that the Red Cross violated a criminal statute ... simply so that J&J can make more money, is obscene," said Mark Everson, the Red Cross president.

Mmm, yeah.

It is really cheap publicity and tactics to make money by J&J. Everyone well aware about J&J and red cross, so it is unnecessary to rise these issues...

Though that is ridiculous beyond belief, anyone who gives the wretched Red Cross grief can't be all bad.
