WHAT'S COOLER THAN GETTING A "CEASE AND DESIST" NOTIFICATION FROM ONE OF THE BIGGEST HAMBURGER CORPORATIONS?

PICS INFO: Mega spotlight on a print ad for Blind Skateboards promoting Jason Lee's "Burger Board" in 1991, plus a shot of the "cease and desist" notification letter filed by Burger King that followed soon after.

EXTRA INFO: It is widely recognized today that in the early '90s era of skateboarding, skate companies stole and/or "repurposed" a butt-load of logos from the biggest corporations, Burger King being among them.
