The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla

eldavojohn writes "A Wired blog looks at the real monsters behind Godzilla: his lawyers. Do you think Godzilla is basically a glorified T. Rex? Guess again, as his lawyers have tirelessly argued: 'He's erect-standing. He's got muscular arms, scaly skin and spines on back and tail and he breathes fire and has a furrowed brow, he's got an anthropomorphic torso. The T. rex has emaciated bird-like arms and stands at a 45-degree angle.' Read on to find out why they targeted the site davezilla.com but not mozilla.org. Another abuse of the American trademark & copyright system? You decide — just don't make a float of him or you'll find yourself paying an undisclosed sum to Toho Co. Ltd."

First you brought out tags which don't want to work properly on my work system (ie 6 forever, I'm afraid). Then you brought out that idle garbage. I even would view it from time to time when I was feeling brave enough to venture into that coding travesty. But now you have decided to change my personal info page into a similar css nightmare of green and green! WTF!?! Have you grown tired of pleasing your users? Are you hoping less people will look at someones journal? This is the lamest thing I have seen in a long time...
