ThinkGeek has also posted the following apology:
"It was never our intention to cause a national crisis and misguide American citizens regarding the differences between the pig and the unicorn," said Scott Kauffman, President and CEO of Geeknet. "In fact, ThinkGeek's canned unicorn meat is sparkly, a bit red, and not approved by any government entity."You'd think they would have gotten one for either the Dharma Initiative Clock or the Tribbles 'n' Bits. It just goes to show you how stupid the members of the National Pork Board are. Someone needs to explain the concept behind April Fools to them.
ThinkGeek has declared this to be the best c&d they have ever gotten, and are offering $10 off a purchase of $40 or more to all of those "offended by [their] portrayal of Unicorn Meat as 'the new white meat'". Use the code PORKBOARD to get your discount.

ThinkGeek this is absolutely hilarious! What a total bunch of tossers those idiots at the National Pork Board are. Seriously? And to think that Faegre & Bensen would actually represent something that is obviously a joke, wow! I am so glad to have found your blog and look forward to reading future posts. Kind regards, The Ranter's Box (rantersbox.blogspot.com)
