Judge Rules: Dogs Get New Toys Because “People Aren’t All Total Morons”

We've all seen little (sissy) dogs in little (sissy) purses.

Well now, thanks to the winner of a fierce copyright case brought forth by Louis Vuitton, we can now have dog-pillow purses, too.

Can you say "psyched"?!

Um, right.  

Haute Diggity Dog has successfully established its brand of Chewy Vuitton dog pillows and toys.  According to Startup Journal, we "people" are apparently fit to tell the difference between a gazillion dollar French purse and a stuffed chewy: 

"The fact that the real Vuitton name, marks and dress are strong and recognizable makes it unlikely that a parody — particularly one involving a pet chew toy and bed — will be confused with the real product," the judge, James C. Cacheris, wrote in a judgment early this month.

Well, no shit, huh?  I better start giving consumers more credit.
