Just another silly season Friday..

In the immortal words of John MacEnroe..

You cannot be se-rious....

Someone do a LOL cat please? I CAN HAS LIVER WITH A NICE CHARDONNAY NAO PLIS?

It'd be good if it had the IT Crowd in it too :) (So hey, Judith, are they infringing personality rights too? is there an exception in the German law of personality for parody or comment)

Sez OUT_LAW:

"The Court looked into the degree to which the pursuit of artistic freedom interfered with the personality rights of Meiwes. It found that artistic freedom was not so powerful a right that it allowed for someone's life to be made into a horror film.

Meiwes advertised online for someone to be killed and eaten by him. Bernd Jürgen Brandes responded to his advert and tried to join Meiwes in eating his own severed penis before being killed and eaten."

But his life *IS * A HORROR FILM!!!

More legally: I'm all for autonomy, but do you have a right to assert your personality so as to gain a reward or remedy if it involves doing criminal acts?? Does a serial killer have a right to get a movie about him banned in germany because it's not horrible ENOUGH!? Surely there's some version of the Dworkinian principle of not profiting by your own wrong here?

Wow it's a great time to be a privacy lawyer. Nazi orgies (allegedly). German cannibals. Any guesses on what next?

EDIT: Ok, this next. But hey, haven't all the cool kids given up playing Scrabulous anyway?

Well that took a full ten minutes..

Also this, about which I can say little other than that it's about time they started selling close-target limited tactical nuclear strikes on eBay.

I think I'll go back to bed! :)
