Don't Tase Me, Hasbro

In light of the recent Mattel/Hasbro suit against Facebook's Scrabulous application, what witty sayings can I spell out in Scrabble tiles to voice my perturbation with the suit?

So far I've got (using blank tiles for punctuation/etc). Credit will be given to MeFi username and posted blog-ward =P I may reword it slightly to account for a dearth of necessary tiles, although I've got multiple sets. Using obscure OSD-kosher words nets you a triple word score.

Hasbro? Has Broke
Just be happy with the free advertising Hasbro
Imagine a PR nightmare of "pulling a Hasbro"

This is slightly modified from a Scrabble themed coffee mug my dad owns:

Mod note: a few comments removed, this is NOT a question about Hasbro's copyright or enforcement of it.

Are you sure the RIAA method is the best idea?
