Well It's A Good Thing

amNY reports this morning that The New York Police Department (NYPD) is suing N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen, a pizza chain based out of Orlando, FL for infringing on their trademark and name. Presumably the NYPD (police department) does not want New Yorkers to confuse the two and accidentally call NYPD Pizza Delicatessen in an emergency. The telephone numbers are surprisingly similar, NYPD (911) and N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen (407.293.8880) except the N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen promises to respond in a half hour or less, a mere fraction of the New York Police Department response time. The lawsuit allegedly stemmed from an embarrassing incident in which the NY City Police Commissioner "showed up to work" while vacationing in Florida at, what he thought was a satellite branch of the NY Police Department. It turned out to be the local pizza chain N.Y.P.D. Pizza Delicatessen.
