Pez Museum Lawsuit

The Pez Museum Lawsuit: A Not-So-Sweet Move? - Source the Find Law Blog

The company who makes the Pez dispenser is suing this museum in Burlingame for copyright infringement.  He built this giant pez dispenser with the snowman pez as his model and since he put the Pez logo on the side of it he violated the copyright of the Pez product.

He also scratched off the smiley face of a smiley face Pez and put words on it which they say violates their copyright too.  I hope I'm using the correct terminology.  Anyway, he also changed a truck so it says Obama 08 for Pezident.

This is pure douchery on the Pez company's part because they are suing him for 14 years of profits from his museum.  So if they win he has to pay them every dime that he has made from sales of pez dispensers, candy and the fee to look at his personal collection of 500 pez dispensers.  I think it's weird that he charges people to look at his collection but whatever.  It's a Pez Museum so that's why.

This guy says that he thinks that they are suing him because they want the rights to open a museum.  So freakin what!  Open your museum Pez company.  Go for it, you don't have to sue this guy so you can have your own museum just open up another one in the city/state that you make them in.  Hell, put a museum in your plant and open it up to the public.

Personally I would just tell the guy to add in his museum title that it's the "Unofficial" pez museum.  If it says unofficial then they can't do anything to him about shutting down his museum.  Then again I don't know the law so I can't so what they can and cannot do.

By the way, the snowman pez that this guy built was put in the Guinness book of records for the biggest pez dispenser so they are probably going to take that title away from him and build their own just to show this guy up.

Keep the change

I know I'm probably going to piss some people off with this but I have to say it.

I was watching tv and turned to CNN and there was Michelle Obama talking about healthcare.  Why are these democrats so hell bent on changing our healthcare system?  I mean come on.  Don't they know what they are doing to us?  It sucks!

I've been watching these people from England and Canada talking about how shitty their heath care is.  People are dying from cancer over there because they can't get the same healthcare that we have over here.  In fact some of them come to America just to go to our doctors and they end up living longer than they would have had they suffered with their own healthcare system.

This one woman was on, I forgot what her deal was but she had some disease and the doctors told her that she hasn't suffered enough, that there were people a lot older than she was and they were still suffering so she needs to suffer the same as everyone else.  Her kid has the same disease and he could wait years for help and the doctors would probably tell him to suffer too.

The woman said that she was going to America to fix his issue but if this new Obamacare comes into place then her son will never get helped.

Just imagine if all the med students change their mind about being a doctor knowing that by the time they graduate they won't have a job to go to because of this new Obamacare.  There won't be any doctors to help you because with this new healthcare doctors are going to get paid less.  This one guy on the news said yesterday that he charges $60 for a patient to walk in the front door, if it goes down to $40 he's gonna quit.  So he's going to quit over $20 what does that tell you?

Ok I'm getting off of my soap box now.  By the way, I am not a republican.  I am not a democrat.  I consider myself an independent.  I really don't follow any particular side because sometimes I like the republican and sometimes I like the democrat.  I'm not sure which wing I am, probably left wing.  I'm no conservative that's for sure lol.  Hello!  I'm gay...  lol.

Jailed for wearing Pants

Sudan: Woman Journalist Jailed For Wearing Trousers - Source News Junkie Post

Take a gander at this.  This Sudanese woman journalist Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein was fined for wearing a pair of trousers.  She refused to pay the 500 Sudanese pounds ($200) fine and so they put her in jail.

Apparently over there it's against the law for a woman to wear trousers.

I've never been to Sudan but according to what people always tell me the middle east is a hot place so I think wearing a pair of pants is probably not a good idea anyway.  I think I'd rather wear a dress then sit near a fan so the air goes up into it so it can cool me down.

If this woman was a journalist and she is from there then she knows the laws.  I'm not saying the laws aren't f'd up because they are but it is their laws.  She knew the law, she knew the consequence.

Just imagine if she wore a pair of shorts, omg she'd get the death penalty for sure.

I just don't understand their laws.  I mean, you get fined (as a woman) for wearing pants and go to jail for PANTS?  That is so f'd up.  Poor woman.  She probably sees Hilary Clinton going over there wearing her pant suits and thinks "hey if she can do it so can I" then she goes to jail for it.  Nice going Hilary, I hope you are happy now that you put a woman in jail.
