Trekkie Sues Christie's for Fraudulent Props
Token_Internet_Girl passed us a link to an MSNBC article on a very disappointed Star Trek fan. Mr. Moustakis of NJ bought a poker visor he thought was worn by Data in Next Generation at a Christie's auction for some $6,000. When he brought it to a convention to have it signed, actor Brent Spiner explained that he'd already sold the well-known visor in a personal sale; like Senator Vreenak, Moustakis had been given a fake. "Christie's spokesman Rik Pike stood behind the authenticity of the auction and said the disgruntled buyer's case had no merit. The lawsuit, filed in state court in Manhattan, demands millions of dollars in punitive damages and a refund for the visor and two other items Moustakis bought at the 2006 auction."
Huh? Since when are actors considered the authorities on their costumes and paraphenalia? One might suspect the studio art and prop departments would be better and more reliable judges of what was actually used on a show. As if that matters.

In the United States we'd rather look out for ourselves then rely on the Government to do it for us.
In the USA, I gather, you couldn't trust the government as far as you could throw them"In the World, I gather, you couldn't trust the government as far as you could throw them"
There, fixed that for you.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
shut the fuck up. no one cares about you or anything you think, dick nose. another fucking celebrity that thinks that we should be in awe over his bullshit. fuck that. he's nothing more than a little whining bitch that no one liked on the show and people like even less now. he posts in his last fanbase; the loser linux faggot convention known as slashdot. he and their idiot king, a fucking fearful little man.
cunt bitch ho. shut up moron. go do something that help humanity instead of running your celebrity mouth.
why don't you just shut up mr big shot? the only reason that people listen to you around here is because you've attached yourself to your celebrity status. no one here really cared for you in the first place. i know you think you're so insightful but the fact is that without your celebrity status you'd be a nothing. as far as i'm concerned you are a nothing.
