Vegetable Sues Fruit

Apple Corporation, eponymous inventor of the ubiquitous MP3 player, and sometime maker of stylish PCs no one except arty designers buy, is in the courts again. Apple is being litigated against by Paul MacCartney and…a vegetable in a three way battle.

Spokesman for the legumes at the Old Bailey, Mr Kelevedon Wonder says, “It’s alright for Mr So-Called McCartney trying to unload Apple’s largesse into his pockets by nicking the Apple logo/name whatever, but Apple wasn’t worth a flipping sou until it stole our brand, the pod. Peas like us have been making pods for longer than you’ve had hot dinners, Mr Steve So-called Jobs So-called Mr Mac So-called Cartney.”

Lawyers rubbed their hands as Heironymous Bean and Doris Okra chucked their intellectual property hats into the ring. “Oi”, they shouted, “What about us, we’ve just as much a claim to the pod as the pea.” An altercation ensued outside the courts until PC Spud arrived. There followed a terrible hash up and all anyone could do was burble and squeak.
