They got the publicity after opebning a shop in Marseille earlier this year. Before the opening, Pardon-employees found lots of troubles as a result of a 46 day strike at city bus company, RTM. So, at the grand opening they introduced a t-shirt with a joke. It showed the RTM logo with the letters RTM saying "Retarde Tout Marseille" (Delays all Marseille). Funny, lots of customers said. Not funny, RTM said. It found a judge to forbid the shirts. In a reaction, Pardon put an animation on its website. Visitors see a RTM-bus with the announcement 'En grève' (on strike) crashing into a bunch of waiting passengers. According to Le Monde, RTM didn't find this funny either. So, they found a judge and had it prohibited. Just curious what Pardon is going to do next... Posted by Peter on september 28, 2006 at 07:08 AM What do you think?

Jammer toch om ze weg te gooien? On 28-09-2006 Peter said: Probleem is alleen, vrees ik, dat Pardon de shirtjes ook niet meer aan jou mag geven. On 28-09-2006 gertjan said: Zo'n uitspraak begrijp ik niet. Is er geen vrije meningsuiting meer? On 28-09-2006 Peter said: Ik ook niet, maar als ik het verhaal goed begrijp heeft RTM met succes geprotesteerd tegen een inbreuk op het merkrecht. Alsof dat boven vrije meningsuiting zou gaan... On 28-09-2006 Peter said: Al ging dat filmpje natuurlijk wel erg ver. Type your opinion: First name: Surname: Email adress: Your opinion:
