I don’t think this will need to be in the Pit because we are all intelligent people but I just want to say, I hate people! Why? Gohere and read about the latest insanity.

<rant> GRRRRR. That really pisses me off! I hope that not only does that dumb bitch LOSE the lawsuit, i hope she has to pay the legal fees the teletubbies people incur defending it. I get so sick of this stupid crap. Just like when jerry fallwell (Uncapitalization of the name intentional. You capitalize proper nouns, and there is NOTHING proper about that dumbass) said that Tinky Winkie (sp?) was gay because it carried a purse. WHO CARES?! Just because one person is STUPID and interprets something in a way it was not intended, should the rest of us suffer? But this is like so many things… So a burglar gets shot, what do they do? They turn around, sue the person that shot them, the gun maker, the bullet maker, the gunpowder maker, the store the gun was purchased at, and anyone else even remotely connected to the gun. Sadly, they win! This all comes back to stupidity. It seems to make the world go 'round. Like some dumb bitch takes $3 million off of McDonalds because SHE spills hot coffee in her lap. She won! What the fuck?! We have trouble convicting murderers with signed confessions, and yet she wins something stupid like that?! That judge needs a boot to the head, and then he needs to be removed from the bench. Reminds me of when Beavis and Butthead were no longer allowed to say FIRE because some kid burned his trailer home down, and the mom blamed it on them. Interestingly enough, it was later admitted that they didn’t even have cable in thier trailer, and that the kid hadn’t even seen the show. This shit has got to stop. Imagine my surprise when i go the the store the other day to buy a pack of smokes, and they have gone up in price AGAIN (almost 5 damn dollars!!!). Gee, i wonder why. Could it be someone smoked, they got sick, and sued the company, now i have to pay for it? That’s fucking crap! YOU smoked, YOU knew the risks (just as i do), FUCK YOU it’s YOUR problem. And don’t gimme that shit about the horrible death either, i was holding my grandfathers hand when he died (in a coma no less) from cancer. I know the risks myself. Do i want cancer? Of course not (which by the way, is why i’m cutting back). But if i get it, i blame no one but myself. How many lawsuits have we seen so far where Budwiser gets sued for someone’s chirrosis (sp?) of the liver? None that i remember. I have an idea… why don’t all of us smokers, SUE the other smokers that are getting these settlements for making the price go up on cigarettes. That would be nice for a change. And on a final note… ELIAN GONZALES. I am getting SICK of hearing about that little kid. Give the poor father his boy back! If i was his dad, i’d be pretty pissed off that some stupid assholes in FL were keeping me from my son. And on top of all that, they were threatening to prevent the government from taking him!!! WHAT THE FUCK?! We shouldn’t put up with that shit for even 1 second. Maybe they need to be reminded that THEY got to stay when they arrived here ILLEGALY on a boat. So i say, get in the way, it’s a free 1 way ticket back to Cuba. And i’m sure that Castro would just LOVE to see them again. Yet we pander to that crap, so it only gets worse. This not about race, or political conditions in Cuba, or whatever…it’s about a boy and his dad. The kid already lost his mom, don’t make him lose his dad too! pant pant pant :mad:

The interesting thing is the it appears that she hasn’t found a lawyer that would take the case. From her comments it sounds that any rational lawyer (and, unfortunately, not all of them are) would agree that this case is frivolous and should not be brought. If a lawyer brings a frivolous case, he or she is potentially subject to sanctions.
Anyone can threaten to sue. I cannot conceive of what sort of valid claim this woman has.
You don’t have a thing to worry about. I’ll have the jury eating out of my hand. Meanwhile, try to escape.

The incredibly sad yet alarming thing is that this woman is raising children, for heaven’s sake. What sort of people do you think they’ll be? The kind who blame anyone and everyone else for their problems and never take any sort of responsibility for themselves. The kind who actively seek out victim status so that they can cash in.
I swear to God, you have to have a license to drive a car, own a dog, fish, carry a weapon, and hunt. But you can just reproduce at will. What is wrong with this picture?
This reminds me of my fundamentalist aunt (whom I totally hated and was very happy when she died of brain cancer…another story). Anyway, I was staying with her for about two months one summer to visit my cousins whom I had not seen in quite some time. She started off by making us all go to church at least four times a week (five times every other week) and listen to the exact same boring mass by the same boring preacher. It was quite awful. Anyway, she was such a fundamentalist that I was not allowed to watch the Smurfs on tv because they all practiced black magick. To make things even worse, I wasn’t allowed to watch Pinwheel on Nickelodeon because they once had a Halloween episode that showed a good witch save her cat from a tree by flying up on a broom. For those of you who don’t know, Pinwheel was a preschool centered show on Nickelodeon that played all morning long primarily showing low budget cartoons. (I was around 10 at the time and if it was a cartoon I would watch it.) However, I was allowed to watch MTV and even Headbanger’s Ball on MTV. She was such a hypocrite. I coud see her being all up in arms about Tinky Winky too. Sigh, if only I was out of the closet and broom closet at that time. I would have hoped she would have had a heartattack. As it was she died of brain cancer, and I have to say that I couldn’t be happier that such a spiteful, pitiful, worthless woman died horribly and alone since by that time she had alienated her husband and her 5 kids. I can see this idiot woman being in the same exact place in ten years… hell, I could see her being in the same place today.
This was on an episode of the Simpsons! I can’t remember which one, but Bart and Lisa are with Maggie watching the Teletubbies when one of them says something about a gun (I think).
Did you listen to the recordings of Tinky Winky and Po’s voices? Those voices freak me out.
Let’s see, she thinks the Teletubbies are a bunch of homicidal maniacs, and one of them is gay, and shouldn’t be running around with a purse. She needs a doctor, not a lawyer. She is obviously having what Molly Ivins refers to as an Emily Litella moment. I expect her to listen again and go “Oh, nevermind.”

Don’t be so quick to judge. There may be a connection. For instance, every time I see Barney the Dinosaur I wish I had a gun. Not a little one. A sawed-off automatic rifle.
Tinky Winky = Chucky !!! I must have missed that episode…
Tinky Winky is gay is an old one (and remember, according to Mrs Taylor, it’s OK to be gay as long as you don’t put it on TV or show it to kids - and presumably mention it in public or even hint that you are anything other than absolutely straight in any circumstances whatsoever)but have you guys had the “Dipsy is black” argument yet? Look closely and you’ll see that he (she? - and how do you tell anyway?) is slightly darker skinned than the others. This, according to some militants in the UK was why Dipsy dolls weren’t selling as well as the others and thus the great British public were all racists!
Dipsy isn’t black or white but GREEN for Gawd’s sake!
What we’ve got now in the UK is something called Tweenies which are like teenage TTs that have learned to speak properly, changed colour, and added another to their number. They are just as disconcerting as the TTs.
With any luck, maybe the doll in Mrs Taylor’s house WILL turn into Chucky…
The Scots - never trust a race whose national dress includes a concealed knife.
I find it hard to believe anybody can understand anything that comes out of the teletubbies mouth . That said , the women is either in need of help or really needs money badly .

By pursuing this lawsuit this woman exposes herself for the sad individual she is and at the same time draws attention to Teletubbies!!! If that’s really what the dolls are programmed to say, get the toys out of the household and explain to the child why this was wrong and unacceptable in their home. Why try and sue over it? This hasn’t hurt her or her child in any way, use it as a learning tool.

Look through my pinwheel and see what I’ve found.
Pinwheel, pinwheel, breezy and bright,
