FUCK!
FUCK, FUCK , FUCK!
As I age, I feel that I am beginning to mellow or, perhaps I am becoming so jaded that the sense of outrage is just harder to raise... Maybe I've almost burned it out... I dunno... but today, damn do I have a doozy...
I read... a lot. books, magazines, newspapers, online news. Sometimes, just sometimes, as I log on, (since windows has www.msn.com as the default in the xp environment and I am too lazy to change it) i see a headline and follow the link.
I'll be damned if I didn't see Supreme Court refuses Pooh appeal as a link on the top stories section. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13561401/ for the story. Before I knew what was happening, my fingers had done the walking and took me to it.
At this point I have to say it again. FUCK. After reading this story, I am too shocked to even be outraged.
1)the grand daughter of the man who wrote Winnie the Pooh wants royalties from the property.
2)She was not born when the property was written and sold
3)a district court tells her that this is a greedy and pretty dumb move on her part
4)she appeals
This, in and of itself is nothing bad...a little fucking stupid, but not bad. Upon doing some research (because of a comment in the story), you will find that the contract involving the property was written specifically to keep his family from reclaiming the rights, and it is implied that was HIS idea.
The courts agreed with the contract, but she wasted money and continued to appeal. Eventually, this case was appealed to the supreme court the highest court in the land. Ecery case is brought before the court and they decide whether to hear the case. This, considering contracts, and the fact that she wasn't even alive when it was sold should be a no brainer. LET THE DECISION STAND.
It has been estimated that each case the supreme court hears and presides over costs the tax payers between $150,000 to $600,000. I want my money back. There was nothing in this case that had anything to do with constitutional issues or human rights or religious rights violations! WHAT THE FUCK?!? Why am I paying for this greedy bitch to sue disney for something that isn't hers even in spirit?
My father used to say When ever they make something fool proof, someone has to go and make a better idiot. Weren't our old ones good enough?
And one more, because it bears repeating... FUCK!

wow, just.. wow. (I can say it backwards- wow)
I can only imagine that A.A. Milne must be turning in his grave.
I swear the people are getting stupider and greedier by the day - but there is hope for the future! The Internet! Free spread of information and media. Eventually it will eradicate money and then there will be nothing to profit from. Haha, or so I would hope, in some sense. Unfortunately stupidity is not easily eradicated - at least not as long as they keep putting warning labels on things.

Wanna hunt her down? It'd be awesome, dude you could dress up like Tigger or Christopher Robin...I get dibs on Eeyore. It'd be like Quentin Tarantino meets the Hundred Acre Wood. Resevoir Pooh!
I understand what you mean about the sense of outrage getting jaded, it's happening to me too and is damn disturbing. I think we're getting lazy dude...we must not let the hateflow trickle to a stream of soft discontent! We must FROTH!
FROTH DAMMIT!

Pooh Lawsuit Ends
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 26 ended an attempt by
the granddaughter of Winnie-the-Pooh author A.A.
Milne, backed by the Walt Disney Co., to strip rights
to the popular children's books from the estate of
longtime Pooh licensee Stephen Slesinger, the Reuters
news service reported.
The case was filed in 2002 by Clare Milne to terminate
the Slesingers' rights to the character and reassign
them to Disney, starting in 2004.
Slesinger's widow and daughter have been battling
Disney for more than a decade over what they claim are
at least $700 million in unpaid royalties from Pooh.
Disney was not a party to Clare Milne's case, but the
company paid her legal expenses, according to an
appeals court opinion in December.
The Supreme Court declined to hear the case and let
stand decisions by two lower courts that Clare Milne
could not void a 1983 agreement renewing the
Slesingers' license, the news service reported.
