I wouldn't have thought so
we took it down.
As we normally do if a legal person moans at us.
As amusing as I thought the post was, I've got little interest in going to court over it.

You need a page
showcasing the posts you've been forced to take down and boasting about how good you are for taking them down when asked.

And Thomas the Wank Engine?
No?
Legally you're allowed to post them anyway, they haven't got a fucking leg to stand on in court.
But why bother, just take the image down and save all the hassle :P

Wooo- I'm a legal person
Will you take 'em down if I moan at you?
Edit: May be worth asking for proof because "as a very popular website with a burgeoning readership we are subject to a high volume of hoax and nuisance emails.
Please confirm in writing on headed paper that you are instructed by XXXXX and we shall be happy to carry out your request." - Or something along those lines.
Etc etc. It just irks them that little bit and you're being perfectly reasonable...
At the very least you will have a physical trophy out of the experience.
