I’m currently in the process of filing a lawsuit against Honda and Toyota, but it also looks like I might have to add a few other manufacturers onto my list. I don’t necessarily want to exert my legal rights, but I feel that these corporations have gone too far and someone needs to put a stop to their shameful theft of other people’s creativity. You see, they’ve unabashedly stolen my intellectual property—the fruits of my labor—and not only did I not receive any type of compensation, I didn’t even receive so much as an acknowledgement for creating what has obviously become a bold new design trend.
The genesis of this story dates back to Mrs. Sian’s second grade classroom. In a moment of pure, divine inspiration, I grabbed—here’s the pure genius part—a ruler(!) and laid down the design for a truly advanced vehicle that, rather than having flowing graceful lines, completely broke with the conventional design philosophy of the previous 75 years of automotive styling. No, my car was, in essence, a giant square box—brilliant!—composed solely of straight lines and right angles, as only an iconoclastic seven-year old could create. However, little did I know at the time that evil forces were at work.
