unbelievable.

I don't know what's funnier now. The video or the posts about the video.

You know something's gotten too many hits when my wife, who barely knows how to get on the internet, is showing me this site when I get home from work.

It's funny because every message board I frequent is having the same thing happen, people are posting the link to this thing every day or two. I guess it shows you how funny it really is!

Fucking lawyers.

Hey, wait a minute...


On a related note, I saw an article about the copyright holders of historical pictures of Kerry from his days in the service threatening to sue those who are using the pictures for political gain. Pretty amazing.

[Franklinnoble]

Sheesh... what are they going to sue them for? They're not making any money from it...

[rkmsuf]

Punitive damages they are giving them

Punitive damages they are giving them
Well played.

THey'll probably sue everybody.

The law can be pretty funny sometimes. Basically, it's protected by fair use as parody if they were to directly attack the song itself. But since they are using it as satire to attack someone else, theoretically not causing as much damage to the song as if they were to parody it, it's not protected.

That works well...http://www.kingsxonline.com/KXRocks/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
