The Associated Press: Colombian coffee growers to sue over US cartoon

The Colombian Coffee Growers Federation says it has consulted with U.S. lawyers and will sue "Mother Goose & Grimm" cartoonist Mike Peters "for damage and harm, detriment to intellectual property and defamation."

The suit will be filed Friday and "would not seek any less than $20 million," according to a note on the federation's Web site. It will also demand a retraction from any newspaper that published the Jan. 2 cartoon.


This is as about the best example of the "love of money is the root of all evil" as one can find.

You can see the offending strip as the Mother Goose and Grimm website.
