If you buy anything with a Chevy bowtie, Pontiac arrow head, or a 'screaming chicken' on it, and it has a tag with the GM copyright disclaimer...

It seems odd to me that the copyrights for both GM and Dodge products was not acknowledged.
Read the screenshot in post 57. Satire does not require trademarking, at least according to the YouTube commenter I posted.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
