Thanks for the comments (and, Don, for the unicorn song).

One additional note: the National Pork Board announced earlier this month that they plan to retire “the other white meat” slogan. From the AP: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/10/pork-other-white-meat-slo_n_608224.html

Just another reason corporate America sucks. Make a good-humored joke and get sued. We don’t need to worry about robots taking over because the robots are we.

Isn’t this free press for the Pork Board? Use of the slogan would cause poeple to think about the Pork brand. Its not like they would be competing with Unicorn meat (though I would like to get me some Unicorn, medium rare please).

Sadly, it really IS how trademark law works– you have to go after every infringement, or abandon your trademark rights.
