Playboy Sues ticalc.org for Usage of POTM Acronym
Posted by Nick & Phil on 6 September 1999, 06:08 GMT
Playboy has decided to file suit against ticalc.org recently for their continued usage of the Playmate of the Month (POTM) acronym, a spokesman for ticalc.org reported on Sunday. According to Hugh Hefner, Playboy's Editor-in-Chief and founder, "We were fed up. This tarnishes the good name of our fine enterprise. We cannot stand to see [this acronym] used in such a bafflingly idiotic fashion." Sources have confirmed that the sum of the lawsuit is approximately $8.29 with $530,238,301,399.38 in punitive damages and personal anguish from one Miss November. This news is intended to be funny. We don't intend any harm towards Playboy in any way. This article assumes you have a sense of humor.

I fear, that as a reaction to this news item, I am being followed by hired thugs from Playboy. I must now go underground.

I wouldn't know about such acronyms as "P*****m of the month" and I'm ashamed that such a respected site as TiCalc.org would use such language. Especially when it tarnishes the otherwise sterling reputation of another organisation. There should be a law against it....

Being that TiCalc.Org has been using POTM Acronym for quiet some time now, and the fact that Pllayboy has been using it for probably 40 years, somethign needs to be done. To show our respect to Mr. Hefner, Heffy, we should most the PlaymateOTM along side the ProgramOTM. Use the corresponding Playmate on the page. When POTM for September roles around we post Playboy's playmate along with TiCalc.Org's Program's of the month. Not a bad idea :)

Um, you guys should be thanking yourselves for that "do not show fake news" option. Personnally, (my opinion) its stupid and is flagrant yellow journalism but if you like it, keep printing that cr@* as long as I don't have to see it.
However I do want to commend you guys on the site make over, I think it looks great!
