To me, it looks like a half-apple. If anybody should be suing, it should be Apple records, not Apple, Inc..
I think the case would end rather quickly once it gets to court. The defendants should simply call up a member of Apple, Inc.'s legal team and say, "I'm sure we'll all agree that one of the most distinguishing marks of Apple, Inc.'s logo is the bite out of the Apple. Would you please point to the bite out of the NYC/Whole Foods apple deptiction? What's that? You can't?"
Unfortunately, it's not Jack Klugman's favorite show right now. He announced on March 29th that he is suing NBC over their alleged lying about the shows profits.
There's a better version of this graphic posted in Wikipedia's article on British Isles terminology ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles_%28terminology%29 ).
As for your American request, that's a little trickier to put into a graphic.
"United States" (US) or "United States of America" (USA) always refers to the federal constitutional republic whose capital is Washington, D.C.
"North America" refers to an entire continent, and includes everything between Canada and Panama, Greenland, the Caribbean Islands and the Bahamas.
When you hear just the phrase "America", it's very likely that it is referring to the USA, but you should analyze the context in which you're hearing it to be sure.
There used to be a hair salon in Las Vegas called Scissors Palace. Caesars Palace heard about this, and threatened to sue. The salon is still there, but is now called Hannah and Her Scissors.
Which reminds me, it looks like Nathan screwed up on one title. There's no apostrophe in Caesars Palace. It's a plural, not a possessive.
If I were the husband, and were shown the cake, I'd look at it and say, "You know, I can't put my finger on it, but something seems to be missing." I'd wait to see if she could figure it out. Let's say she couldn't.
Then, at the wedding, right in the middle of the vows, I'd say, "It just hit me what's missing from our wedding cake, and it's the same thing that's missing from our wedding - the groom!" At that point, walk out and don't return.
If the groom is going to barely be involved in the wedding, then he will probably barely be involved in the marriage.
Considering that Bizarro is one of Superman's enemies, and that on Bizarro world, llying is valued above honesty (everything is backwards there), this is more appropriate than even the author may have intended.

The flamingo is the best, IMHO. The dalmatian is also great.
The finger-turned-pen is just disturbing.
VonSkippy, it would have been very impressive in 1908, but few people would have been familiar with "What a Wonderful World" at the time.
