If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I certainly don't know the whole story to this, but either KTVZ thinks they own the rights to Bob Shaw's likeness (which they might by contract, but satirical cartoons of public figures, even if it is for profit, is protected speech, as far as I know -- it's been a while since I've studied this kind of law), or they are claiming they own the rights to "Have a Sparkling day." Either way, there's one less t-shirt available to buy.

I would have figured that somthing as common as "Have a sparkling day" would be perfectly fine for a t-shirt.
KTVZ get a life.
