Think Geek is my favorite store. I will do anything to support them.
Must go buy foodstuffs now.

While I think the whole thing is silly as hell, WTF did they expect?

They took a trademarked slogan and applied it to one of their products with profit as a motive.

Trademark violations aren't always about trying to confuse someone into thinking that the "new" product is the same as the "old" product.
