The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has successfully sued to halt the production of "anatomically correct" Oscar statues. Why Oscar, is that a big sword in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

This line had me rolling my eyes: The academy has long taken a dim view of unauthorized commercial exploitation of the Oscars, which it sees as tarnishing the image of Hollywood's most prestigious award. Authorized commercial exploitation, from all appearances however, is perfectly OK. Who do they think they are? the Nobel Prize Committee?
