Creve Coeur, MO A federally funded Christian anti-masturbation organization claims that another federally funded Christian anti-masturbation organization has violated their intellectual property and is now suing for millions.
Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin and their parent organization Stop Masturbation Now have accused Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Shark of using the same name of their famous dolphin mascot, Fappy. According to the suit, they believe that using the name causes a likelihood of confusion.
The group recently made headlines for ironic reasons. In June the dolphins mascot, 35-year-old Paul Horner, made national news after his arrest for public masturbation. Weeks later Horner was pardoned by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer of all charges.
Lonnie Childs who is president and founder of Stop Masturbation Now spoke to CNN about the Fappy lawsuit. Its a shame it has to come to this. Litigation is almost as ugly as masturbation itself! The Fappy method of masturbation prevention is the only one that the STOP Masturbation NOW ministries endorses. Just as we protect souls from masturbation, we must also protect our intellectual property! Thanks to your tax dollars, God willing, our federally funded organization will be able to win in court. Though, we will both be praying to the same God on this one, and were both federally funded with your tax dollars, so its gonna be close. I have activated my prayer app and I ask each and every one of you to keep Fappy in your prayers until this incident is resolved. Praise!
Details of the $350 million lawsuit are not entirely clear yet. On the groups Facebook page this afternoon, news was posted of the suit.
Faithful Fappy followers! I would like to inform you of some important news before the lamestream media and Big Masturbation get a chance to spread their lies about what is really going on. As you may or may not know there is currently another Christian anti-masturbation organization who goes around the country educating children about the dangers of masturbation. This would be a good thing, except they are using our trademarked name Fappy in everything they do. They steal our content and Facebook postings. This is unacceptable!
