Money, greed and US patents and trademarks for every fucking word in a dictionary. Isn't it so fucking hilarious that nowadays they can trademark word "face"? But yeah they have money and and government thumbup.
Oh and btw Facebook = CIA = Big Brother in your computer.

So you don't see a problem with someone spending money to promote a brand only to have jokers like the OP trying to take advantage of that? Should I be able to open a hamburger joint throw up some arches and call it MacDonalds?

Years ago some asshat thought it would be clever to register 4 different variations of a popular domain name that I have (a registered trademark) and proceeded to throw sites up that were similar to mine. When my Attorney sent him a letter similar to the one above he responded back that he would sell them to me for $1000 a piece along with some smart ass response that I didnt own the english language. So then not only did I have him for violating my trademark I had a case for cybersquatting which he could have been liable for $100,000 for each occurrence. We filed a Federal lawsuit and he wisely settled for 25k and the domains.
