I agree. I think I'm going to steal some Legos from my cousin and 'fix' the wall in my backyard.

If by some prankster, subby mean Jan Vormann, who was clearly named in TFA, then subby is right. It's not like he was hiding his identity.

Dear Farkers:

Please do not dilute the Lego trademark.

The Lego Group's name has become so synonymous with its flagship toy that many refer to the bricks themselves (collectively) as "Lego" or "Legos" (the latter term being common only in US English), although the Lego Group considers such uses to be trademark dilution. Lego catalogues in the 1970s and 1980s contained a note that read:

"The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services."

The official Lego website is www.lego.com. For many years, visitors to www.legos.com (also registered to the Lego Group) have received notices similar to the one pictured, and were intentionally redirected to the official website, to further protect the brand.

"Lego" is officially written in all uppercase letters. The company asserts that to protect its brand name, the word Lego must always be used as an adjective, as in "Lego set", "Lego products", "Lego universe", and so forth.

Love,

Legos

FlashfryIn at least one of those photos, the bricks are NOT lego

Yes. They're Duplos, which is giant-sized Lego for babies and toddlers. They're also fully compatible with the rest of the stuff Lego makes, so one can use both and build some pretty interesting and overly elaborate things.

It looks more like jelly bean puke than graffiti does?

I dunno, looks like crap to me. I guess it's not graffiti because you can't disassemble spray paint.

Heh. If there were a way to prevent trademark dilution without sounding like a pompous asshole, a lot of people would do it.
