WarriorZoalord Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 O.o well, I highly doubt that that lawsuit would hold up, those hollywood people are just getting lazy and don't wanna make good movies all the time. Quote

You'd be surprised mate what holds up in court and what doesn't example, A woman sueing the owner of a dog that chased her cat, stands up in court (and won) yet, me sueing a shop for not putting a bike together properly (which led me to getting hit by car because the brakes wouldn't work) doesn't.

guyverfanatic Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 This is the most rediciulous lawsuit I have EVER read. Quote
Guest Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 This is the best laugh I've had ALL day! I LOVE it! I immiedietly want to laugh at the Hollywood executives right now, (oh wait, I just did that). The best part is about how the non-artists they they have the sole right to do art. This is so true in a commentary style, it just can't be real. This has to be some sort of very excellent prank. Then again, this is about mindless corporate executives, so I guess it could be real.

Armageddon Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Purely pathetic and stupid. Why people waste time on this, i'll never understand. This lawsuit reminds me of three things that have happened recently. Three bills designed to tax VoIP, (Phone service over the internet) which is now banned. A bill to tax internet access, which was banned just today and will be banned for 3 years. And a bill to take away a DVR's (Tivo in particular) capability to skip comercials. I think this feature is very useful and should stay a part of the service. I think this bill will be squished along with this pathetic excuse for a lawsuit. Anybody can make a quality product if they have three things. 1)Money. 2)The proper people and knowledge/equipment. 3)Time. Quote
guyverfanatic Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 I just realized that this is a satire. About Dateline HollywoodDateline Hollywood was founded in 360 BC as "Gladiators Weekly" to cover the booming entertainment industry in the coliseums of ancient Rome. Its pioneering analysis of the statistics of lion mauls and emperor thumbs up/down made it the original publication to take the business of entertainment seriously. Its premiere edition included "The Ten Gladiators to Watch" and an analytic feature, "Deaths by Daggers Down LXVIII Percent." Over the years, the publication now known as Dateline Hollywood covered a number of different amusing industries as the times changed, transforming from "Inside Slave Trade," to "Bubonic Plague Infestation Monthly" (later quarterly, yearly, and eventually publishing just once per century) to "What's Hot in Renaissance Art," "Miracle Play Today!" and, following a move to the young United States in the early 19th century, "Minstrel Show Monthly," "The Ragtime Gazette," and, following the editors' realization in 1973 that ragtime's time had passed, its current incarnation. Today, Dateline Hollywood uses the reach, speed, and cheapness of the Internet to bring a worldwide audience the freshest news from the current capital of world culture: Hollywood, USA. Whether you're an industry professional or Hollywood outsider, you'll find everything you need to know about the world of film, TV, music, and more right here from the publication that continues to live up to its founding motto to "cover with unerring integrity that which matters least."

This page is a fake? Heh, what some people will do for publicity. YoungGuyver: If you got a chuckle from this article, you should really get a laugh from these: http://www.datelinehollywood.com/showar ... icleID=337 These must've been some really stupid kids or some REALLY irresponsible parents. http://www.datelinehollywood.com/showar ... icleID=341 This is just plain funny and kinda sickening in my opinion.

Guest Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I have lost absolutely all faith in humanity (Ok, maybe just America in cirtain sections excluding cirtain people). This is absolute dumbest thing I have ver heard. (Hmmmm, Wonders if all those B-Movies could have been A-Movies if the film studio's had acctually tried) Quote

"printer antagonistic" on the side might be a hint. Quote
Guest Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 I thought it was obvious this wasnt a real lawsuit when I read this. You guys need to read the onion more, you'll get better at spotting this sort of thing if you do. Quote
Kaiser Dragoon Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Excellent satire if I've ever seen it, nowhere near as good as "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift but good enough for the day and age. As for the American court system I won't touch that with a ten foot pole. If you can sue someone for millions of dollars and win because you don't know that coffee is hot you should be shot at birth, another perk of living in Canada, this kind of stuff is laughed out of the courthouse Quote
