The city of Louiseville is having to scrap plans to incorporate Dr Seuss’ classic How The Grinch Stole Christmas into their annual Christmas display after receiving legal threats from lawyers.

The plans included having an area in the display named “LouWhoVille” which would have featured characters from the children’s book including the Grinch.

Unfortunately for them, mean old lawyers representing Dr Seuss Entertainment got wind of the plan and sent a Cease and Desist letter to the mayor, threatening legal action if the plans continued, citing that the Grinch, “Who-Ville” and all characters relating to the book, are copyright. SO STOP HAVING FUN.

Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson says, “It appears these lawyers’ hearts are two sizes too small.” Quite, sir.
