A Very Brady Infringement?
I promise, not all of my posts will involve ice cream. But I'm getting a sick thrill watching Ben & Jerry's co-opt the Brady Bunch quote "Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!" with their new flavor Marsha Marsha Marshmallow. And it features a Brady-esque tic-tac-toe design. Yet, no mention of the Brady Bunch, or Sherwood Schwartz, on the packaging. I guess that would have involved an exchange of money? Or a contract of some kind? I'm confused and amused. As they said in the British grebo scene: Pop will eat itself.

Good question. (After I wrote that sentence, i thought, "damn, i sounded like a pre-conservative Dennis Miller.") Grebo, or greebo, was a late 80s U.K. musical scene, a short-lived one, and one of the leading lights was the band Pop Will Eat Itself. Raw indie pop/rock with a hip-hop influence. They made some great singles.
