When it eventually happens, remember you read it here first

The clothing and sporting goods corporation Stitchup Unlimited says it will sue all those who bring the corporate name into disrepute, including those who commit immoral acts while wearing clothes manufactured by the company.

Several corporations, including Stitchup, have sued such well-known menaces as striking workers, trade union officials, whistleblowers, maternity-leavers and the parents of child labourers who die on the job. However, Stitchup is the first corporation to apply the precedent to so-called "sartorial moral libel" as defined under US law.

There has been considerable debate within the corporation as to which criminals should be more harshly punished: those who commit crimes wearing Stitchup clothes (moral libel) or those who remove the brand label before committing their crimes (misprision of trademark).

Stitchup is preparing a test case against America's prostitutes, who are thought to be especially vulnerable to the charge of moral libel because, even if brand labels are not openly displayed on the outside of their clothing, at least some customers will be able to view labels on the inside, with a resulting loss of moral standing for the corporation.

Under the Homeland Constitution, US patent, libel and corporate law applies without restriction throughout all dimensions of the known and unknown universe of time, space and spirit; so it is possible that, if successful, the lawsuit could have consequences for men who visit prostitutes in Britain.
