    Seems moronic on the part of La-Z-Boy. They've traded a lot of free good press for some negative press and some probably meaningless very incremental protection of their trademark. And paid a law firm to do that to them.

    Isn't it rather odd that the guy could be picked up for DWI? If he were in a motorized wheel chair, could he be arrested for DWI too?

    How about if he just stumbled into a car while walking?

    So the next time someone has a can of beer on their riding lawn mower, they're getting picked up?

    If they are riding it on a public street, likely yes.

    Only one hour left!

    Bidding only at $10,000! A real bargain considering the bidding was at $40,000 when it was listed at being a La-Z-Boy.

    NOOOOOOO! I missed a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a mistake so epic it was symbolized in a fractal fashion in the act itself. I'm pretty sure the winner is feeling something beyond "buyers remorse". More like "buyer's nihilistic despair".
