WASHINGTON -- Toymaker Hasbro has sent Sharron Angle's Senate campaign a cease and desist letter, saying the Nevada Republican never received permission to use the rights to Monopoly for its "Harry Reid Amnesty Game" website.

"The MONOPOLY image that you are referring to was used without permission -- and our legal department sent a cease and desist letter via fax to Ms. Angle's offices on Friday," said Hasbro spokesman Pat Riso in a statement to The Huffington Post on Monday.

As of the publishing of this piece, however, the site remained up, and Riso said that they have not yet heard anything from the Angle campaign. An Angle spokesman did not respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post.

1. A corporation asking a teahadist to stop?

Now that is great. She'll keep the image up there until after the election and say, "I just heard about now." And hopefully Hasbro will sue her ass off, win, and break her financially.

6. She was sued earlier for copyright/TM infringement-the GOP

should be sending her a cease and desist letter.
