How so? Not disputing, just curious why.

Copyright and trademark laws. You can't do an obvious takeoff of someone's
successful advertising campaign without risk. As an example, in the early 80s,
someone tried to market shirts with a belly-up, obviously dead alligator over
the pocket. IZOD cleaned up in court and put them out of business. Another
company in New York marketed a wine under the label "Big Blue" (I have a bottle
of their "Compatible White"). IBM didn't care for that one very much, either.
This would be even more blatant and hence, more easily taken to court.

no artwork, just lettering from the Mall t-shirt store.

I would be very careful, in using that line. Overstock is doing their whole
campaign on that line, and I would almost bet they have it trade marked, or
copyrighted, or something, and would not give permission for our use.
