ergI got Bboinged:
" Nintendo lawyergram to Suicide Girls -- UPDATE
Following up on earlier news today about a hilariously clueless cease-and-desist from Nintendo's attorneys to softcore website Suicide Girls -- the implications of which are as stupid as they are far-reaching -- BoingBoing reader Josh says,
Hi Xeni, I called the S.F. and the Seattle offices of the law firm representing Nintendo here, Perkins Coie. They not only seem to not know about this, they can't even look at it because their firewalls won't allow them to get to porn sites. (Ed note: BWAAHAHAHAHAH!)
I've emailed someone in their offices the posts so I expect this'll get cleared up inside a day or two.
Link to previous BoingBoing post with full text of the laughably logic-lacking lawyerletter. I've known some of the partners at Perkins Coie in the past -- sharp, tech-savvy, forthright folk. I can't imagine this silliness will go too far."

I didn't actually expect them to update the blurb until the law firm took action and I certainly didn't expect them to link to the webserver from where I send most of my email. I'll have to let them know to adjust for the BB/Slashdot effect.
