BoingBoing: M&Ms will print you custom candies with two (short) lines of text -- a cool idea, but too bad they let the lawyers at it. The terms prohibit your using the names of places and events on your custom, personal-use candies, and a clearly embarrassed marketing department has come up with several hilariously bad workarounds, like substituting "Thar she blows" for "Mr St Helens" and "Marry a Doctor" for "Johns Hopkins." Link And Kevin remixed the M&M maker to let you sub in your own messages, such as Impeach Bush, War Criminal.
