Hmm, Not Sure Andy Would Have Loved It

By Stephen Saban on October 18, 2004 5:18 am

_40189078_michelineguide203x300A 78-year-old man named Shimon Tzavbar has invoked the name of Andy Warhol in a British court in defense of his swiping the Michelin logo for his guide to Israeli jails. Michelin initially brought a suit against him for infringement, but has since dropped it. Tzavbar said his guide, called Much Better Than the Official Michelin Guide to Israeli Prisons, Jails, Concentration Camps and Torture Chambers, which advises readers to dress as Palestinian Arabs to get arrested, was obviously a spoof. Well, either that or an insane diatribe. “In order to make a satire that will catch the public eye, one has to use a name or symbol that is famous,” he said in a letter to the High Court. “In the same way that the artist Andy Warhol used the famous Campbell soup name and logo to change the consumerism of society, so did I use the famous Michelin name to spread awareness of a great human tragedy, a tragedy that the Jews in Israel should know all about.” Yeah, that’s exactly what Warhol was thinking with the tomato soup.
