Talk:Singing telegram

message: This article could do with some more useful expansion, more information on the following might help:
* "Western Union began offering singing telegram services in 1933."  Is there any further information to expand on this further and back this up?  Any references?
* A paragraph or two on the common types of singing telegram, expanding how it is usually done as a parody ie. using Gorillas or as a token of affection like a Serenade by a professional singer/musician etc.

598 F. Supp. 110
Civ. A. No. C82-2264A
Oct. 11, 1984
United States District Court, N.D. Georgia, Atlanta Division.
Miles Alexander, Joseph Beck, Jerre B. Swann, Gail Tusan Joyner, Atlanta, Ga., for plaintiff.
Francis M. Pinckney, Charlotte, N.C., John Pennington, Atlanta, Ga., for defendants.
ORDER
SHOOB, District Judge.
This action arises under federal trademark and copyright statutes and under state law. Plaintiff holds copyrights and trademarks pertaining to the fictional characters SUPERMAN and WONDER WOMAN, their names and attributes, and has exploited those properties in the distribution of comic books, films, and merchandise. Defendants are a corporation and its owners that engage in the franchising of “singing telegram” companies, and a partnership that operates one of the franchises. Among the skits performed by defendants and their licensees are two that feature characters named “Super Stud” and “Wonder Wench”. Plaintiff alleges that the use of those characters infringes upon its property rights, and seeks a permanent injunction barring the use of those characters.
