World Wrestling Federation sends lawyers
after The Cooters!

The World Wide Life fund isn't the only one to be called into the wresting ring.

Lawyers for the World Wrestling Federation, Inc. sent a letter to The Cooters in mid-July objecting to The Cooters "Cooters World Order" (CWO) mailing list. The letter claimed the CWO was causing confusion with the WWF's "New World Order" trademark, which they recently purchased from Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling. The lawyers threatened legal action if The Cooters did not remove references to the CWO on TheCooters.com.

"We thought it was some kind of joke," said bassist Neuter Cooter, "but after a little investigation we realized that the letter was legit."

The Cooters mailing list was started serveral years ago and has grown to thousands of subscribers.  The name was a satirical take-off of The Cooters love of professional wrestling.

Although we maintain our first amendment right to satire pop culture, The Cooters have decided to change the name of our mailing list to "The Cooters Convoy." We admit no wrong doing.

"We must be doing something right if a gigantic American corpoaration is worried about what some punk band in Mississippi is doing." said bassist Neuter Cooter, "I bet they make more money in an hour than we do all year."

The Supreme Cooter says, "Vince McMahn, you must be yeller if you'd rather take me to court instead of the wresting ring! You're obviously scared to death of the thought of facing The Cooters in the ring! You think poppin' 'roids makes you a man?! I show you the biggest muscle of them all! Wooooooooooooooooooooooo Lord!
