Have you every seen anything on tv or anywhere else that your first impression of was "Well that's going to cause a lawsuit..."

I just saw a tv commercial for Alabama's shitty water park that I think nearly closed down because not enough people went to keep it operating. The commercial started off with some mobster sounding people talking to a kid about how they tied his Uncle Vinny in a car then it shows a car driving off a pier then it says something like "New Jersey Adventure." I'm sure New Jersey would be interested in an Alabama water park saying New Jersey is run by mobsters and whack people on vacation...

Publicity is publicity as they say.

I think that really only works for people who are famous for being famous.

I dunno, a ride in the trunk of a black lincoln could be fun.

A lawsuit on what grounds, exactly?

shitty water park

Redundant. All water parks are shitty, figuratively and literally.

People who are famous end up being pubic in public. Paparazzi !

I think it would be an enourmous boon to the economy to sell off the courthouses. Let the trial come to the crime!

I haven't really thought this through. I just want to see a judge deliberating while riding a shitty water-slide!

Did anyone in New Jersey sue over the Sopranos?

Did the Sopranos show a car going over a dock with a bunch of mobsters narrating it and a pop up saying "New Jersey Adventure"?

No, but I got the distinct impression that seemingly ordinary families with Italian surnames who lived in Jersey were very probably Mobsters.

Most adventures that take place in New Jersey are of the 'misadventure' variety. *nod* :)

If New Jersey sued every time somebody made fun if it they'd never get anything else done...

A commercial for some flu medication showing sick guy then the same guy happily going to work. Physical effort during flu can lead to heart muscle inflammation and severe heart damage.

You USians sure like suing each other.

I assume it is good for the economy.

That's a point. Are the payouts in civil cases taxed in the US?

It's conspicuous consumption.

"We choose to sue the moon. We choose to sue the moon in this decade and sue the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard" as Kennedy was supposed to say, before he slipped up and accidentally invaded the moon.

Oops. I am kinda wrong. I'll go to bed.

I saw a commercial that said, and I quote!

"Those yankees are stealing all our cheerwine" Then it shows two wiseguys tossing a big trunk of cheerwine cans into the back of a sedan. What happens? Some General Lee prick comes up to them and asks them what they're doing. The mobster guy goes "We're from..ehhhhhh..'Charlotte'" Then proceeds to run away.


Being from the NYC, and just visiting the family in the south, I was just a tad bit wtf at that. Cheerwine blows btw. :D

It is run by mobsters who whack people on vacation.

I've been there without getting whacked.

I'd never leave court. :)
