OMG on another note last night went to see Tomb Raider 2. They had a paid advert before the start of the movie with this set designer and other lowly nobodies saying how piracy hurts them and yadda yadda. Then about pirating music and how bad it is as well.

Man that just annoyed me because it really talks down to you like you're an idiot who can't see that they are just trying to play you for a fool. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William H Bowen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 2:25 PM Subject: Re: Fat Brat sues > But upon who's judgement will this be based? > > The humourless bastard down the block or some committee like the MPAA: > > "It is the judgement of this panel that your Class 1-A Humiliating Joke > (ref: AB3BCDFD-0035-DA36-071409C2DBE49D00 ) "Pants-ing" has been rated > PG-13 -- thusly only requiring nominal parental notification, and > negating the right of the subject to sue in the event the subjects' > embarrassment, humiliation, etc. providing a fully executed hold > harmless document is submitted to this committee with 10 days of final > subject approval -- forms for identification of potential subjects of > the referenced joke (AB3BCDFD-0035-DA36-071409C2DBE49D00) will be found > attached.
