Since Sony admits that their product is designed to cause damage to your computer system, almost anyone would likely have a good lawsuit against them.
I get the feeling Sony doesn't have to worry about any lawsuits concerning this. If someone wanted to sue, they'd have to admit to buying a Celine Dion CD, and I just don't see that happening.
Kudos for Fox for finally getting this deadbeat show off the air, albeit about 3 years too late. Now if they can just give the Simpsons the same mercy killing, I'd be happy. It's painful to see just how pandering that once great show has become. Now that Samurai Jack is on opposite of the Simpsons, absolutely no one (well, no one who has Cartoon Network) has any excuse for providing the Simpsons with an audience. I'd like to see Fox put their marketing muscle behind Futurama and the brilliant King of the Hill, but they'll probably use the new hole in the schedule for something inane like Temptation Island 5 or Who Wants to Rip-off the Latest TV Pop-Culture Craze.
"I ran accross a story at CNN that says a local Michigan college, Siena Heights, is offering a philosophy class on our favorite cartoon..."
Samurai Jack??!!:)
"...The Simpsons"

For their part, John Hopkins will blah blah blah...
The school's name is Johns Hopkins. Sorry to be so anal, but I'm programmed to respond that way whenever anyone calls it "John" Hopkins, being a native Marylander. For this same reason, any mention of Indianapolis causes me to say that the city sucks.;)
Im wondering how long it will be before the USA pulls some kind of Nazi thing on the world... I mean that very literally. I dont think it would take much to convince the US population to invade Canada, Mexico or anywhere else for that matter if the media and government sold us as "The Un-American Enemy bent on subverting their supreme Way of Life. For Gods sakes, their Communists!"
So, I wanna just make sure that I understand you...
Americans should be seen as capable of committing atrocities that are just as deplorable as those the Nazis did, and the proof is because they see the rest of the world as "communists," "dirty hippies," etc. Ergo, any person who sees another nation, group of people, etc. and feels irrationally threatened by them or makes disparaging comments about their way of life is no better than your average war criminal.
The irony is about as subtle as a brick to the face.
