Astronaut Sues Dido For Album Cover

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-me-off-that-thing dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Astronaut Bruce McCandless is suing Dido for her album cover that uses a famous NASA photograph of a tiny, tiny, tiny McCandless floating in space. McCandless doesn't own the copyright on the photo, so he's claiming it's a violation of his publicity rights ... except that he's so tiny in the photo, it's not like anyone's going to recognize him."

    I just dropped a fat deuce. Literally.

    I was in the bathroom stall, a nice fat turd (pilfered from the john) in hand. I was about to bite into the fecal feast (left by a young stud who forgot to flush) when a couple guys came in the bathroom. It freaked me out and I dropped the turd. I thought about picking it up off the floor, but that's unsanitary. Oh, well, tomorrow's another day.
