DVD-Watching Driver Charged with Murder

joke-boy writes "CNN reports that a driver in Alaska is being charged with second-degree murder for allegedly causing a fatality accident by driving while watching the movie 'Road Trip' in an in-dash DVD player. The driver contends he was just listening to music. Alaska has no laws prohibiting drivers from watching DVDs, although many other states do."

here's a few thoughts

I love this story. It highlights the fact that I enjoy taking shits on whores. I wake up every single fucking day and I think to myself, "I wonder how many whores I can shit on today." There is nothing more satisfying in this world than blasting some slut with a fist-sized glob of dripping feces. It gets me excited just thinking about it. And, after all, let's be honest - women deserve it. This is Slashdot, a site frequented by young males age 18-25 of indiscriminate sexual policy and dyke sluts. Seriously, the only women that like computers are fat bull dykes. Just look at this fucking slut. So, as I was saying, you fags should start dropping brown goodness onto the faces of sluts. It's a good time and I think an enjoyable hobby that relates quite directly to this article on shit. For more information, email me at fuckyouverymuch@gmail.com.

This is ridiculous.

Almost 50 years later, it's still copyrighted material, and they're trying to say that you can't make a parody of it?

This copyright extension crap has to go. I swear, it's getting way out of hand. Even "Happy Birthday" is copyrighted.
If some kid sings "Happy birthday to you.. you smell like a zoo.." then they're probably opening themselves up to a similar lawsuit, eh?
Silly. Just plain silly..

"Same here in the Netherlands"

That reminds me, how come a country as small Finland is capable of producing two world class Formula One drivers (Mika Häkkinen and Kimi Raikkonen) and a world class rally car driver (Tommi Makkinen) among others?

This is all the more amazing when a country the size of the USA produces, erm, none!

What's that all about?

Because most Americans just aren't aware of any racing beyond NASCAR. Sad really...
