Remember Mr.Yuk? The green face that appears very unhappy he ate something bad? The green sticker you put on poisons to hopefully keep kids from eating the bad stuff.

Seems Mr. Yuk has lawyers, and they seem a bit distressed.  Well a councilman in St.Paul has put “Yuk-like” faces on the lawn signs that oppose an upcoming vote he is in favor of. The Yuk attorneys arent amused.

They say he has broken copyright laws and used Mr Yuk in an illegal way, they say that it is inappropriate. They claim it to be a clear violation.

Mr. Yuk was made 30 years ago to warn children that a substance was dangerous.

The owners of Mr Yuk are aware that it does not damage them that the image is used, theysimpl want to enforce their copyright.

The councilman said it appeared to him that the image was int he public domain. He issued a sincere apology.
