I'm a highly-paid lawyer, and I'm talking about Betamax VCRs, which have nothing to do with the case. That doesn't make sense.
If you bothered to read your own link, you'd see that the Human Torch was not used due to licensing issues, not because of a PC network exec.
Overreact much?
.sig to you. Lose and loose are homonyms, fishbulb. Nose and noose are not.
I wanted to point out the idiocy of your
No wonder David Crosby is bitter!
