Hollywood loves underdog stories: the little guy fighting the evil empire and ultimately winning or losing with dignity. But what about when two villains go up against eachother? Like Freddy vs Jason, Alien vs Predator, or, most recently, Apple vs Apple. The result is the equivalent a showdown between two schoolyard bullies: pure unadulterated enjoyment of violence.An expensive legal battle is unfolding between Apple Computer and Apple Corps, the company owned by The Beatles. Both claim ownership of the humble fruit as their logo but only Apple Corps claims to have the rights to associate the apple with music. With iTunes and the iPod, Apple Computer has treaded on opposing gang territory.
The first legal between the two Apples lasted two years. How long will this battle last and where will it lead? Will the victor go on to tackle other potential threats like:
- Fiona Apple?
- Apple Paltrow Martin (seen above)?
- Juice Newton?
- "Bonita Applebum"?
- William Tell and the Swiss?
Watch on the sidelines and be sure to get the commemorative candied apples.
