Flaming Moe’s! Using the Simpsons in Protecting Business Ideas!

This is a cracking video to show students the effect of failing to protect business ideas.
Flaming Moe's is a great episode of the Simpsons (episode 10 of Season 3) and is perfect for illustrating the concept of protecting business ideas.
In the episode, Homer tells Moe the bar owner of a secret alchoholic drink that he invented which includes a secret ingredient, cough medicine and which he calls the 'Flaming Homer'. However, Moe steals Homer's recipe and renames the drink, Flaming Moe's. The drink is a huge success which turns around Moe's fortunes.
A restaurtant offers Moe $1000,000 to purchase the recipe (they have worked out all the recipe but cannot identify the secret ingredient) but Moe refuses.
Comedy and business gold all wrapped up in one. Certainly worth obtaining a copy.
