FedEx furniture!

It started when this guy's (can't find his real name, seems to go by FedExGuy on his site) friends moved to Seattle and didn't have any furniture. So they built themselves a simple desk out of FedEx boxes. When FedExGuy found himself in the same situation, he went a few steps further and furnished his entire apartment with pieces made entirely from FedEx packing materials. It's quite impressive.

He's in a bit of legal trouble, though. FedEx is going after him for trademark infringement. At first I did a big ol'

. I mean, FedEx couldn't BUY better advertising. "Our packing materials are so strong, they can be used as furniture!" He's not selling the furniture, and doesn't seem to be selling ad space (there are a couple links, but those seem to be to sites that provided technical support for the site, not really sponsor ads) But, at least acording to the letters he's got posted, he was aparantly using the FedEx logo on t-shirts and business cards. Probably not a smart move.
