Looking for Lamebook?

You can't get there from Facebook.

The LA Times reports that Facebook users can no longer link to Lamebook, "fan" it's page, or "like" it's posts.  Says anonymous Facebook exec: "In the process of dealing with a routine trademark violation issue regarding some links posted to Facebook, we blocked all mentions of the phrase “lamebook” on Facebook . . . We are committed to promoting free expression on Facebook."

Earlier this month, Lamebook responded to threats from Facebook by seeking First Amendment protection as a parody site.  Two weeks later, Facebook sued Lamebook for trademark-infringement.
