ASCE: Cease and Desist over Video Spoof
The American Society of Civil Engineers ASCE sent a cease and desist letter to the owner of the Levees.Org website notifying them to remove a video spoof of its post-Katrina levee inspection. Of course, through the wonders of the internet, Levees.org removed it from YouTube, but someone else posted it again.

I like it. And if you run into a stiffer material, you just put on some speed metal music! 😀
