Clever, but ugly.

Wonder how FedEx feel about it? My guess is he will soon find out.

yeah, We are currently involved in legal battles. But, hell - FedEx has a huge advertising budget, they should just chalk this up to free(ish) advertising. Suing the guy will only bring them bad PR.

Actually, it's probably because of the domain name. They probably have to do it.

well if they do sue him i hope they're not planning on recouping their legal costs - the guy sleeps on a bed made out of cardboard boxes for christ's sake.

Legal battles? Hmmmmm... I kinda doubt it. Unless like Taz says they're doing it only in regards to the domain name.

"It is not 100% complete yet due to how difficult it is to get fedex to deliver to my house these days."

The bed doesn't look comfortable at all, but how cool are the table and chairs?
