Wait, so Limbaugh isn't a comedian?

Like the lemmings who believe the things that Pres. Bush says because
of his celebrity status. Come to think of it, there's really not much
difference between celebrities and politicians in general. The more
popular you are, the more influence you have. It's not really a
skilled job. You spend

I think the point is that the Daily Show does a better job of covering
news than the news. But I'm guessing you already knew that.

I was watching The Daily Show last night. Dean was on and he said
something like most people that watch that show get their news from
the Internet and the show. He then said more people should watch the
show to get their news and it'd be a better country. Something like
that.

Of course they do, its some fairly basic social psychology. "People"
ascribe greater value to someone else's opinion because of their

I think the implication is that even though celebrities have free
speech rights, people don't necessarily need to be attributing a
greater weight/significance to the things these people say just based
on the fact that they're celebrities.

Nope, I know they have every right to speak their mind. I am a VERY big
proponent of free speech. In fact, I stayed out of the flag debate for
fear that I might piss off a lot of people with my opinions on the
subject. The situations aren't all that different, IMO. You want to
burn a flag?
You mean that just because they are celebrities they do not have free
speech rights?
That is of course unless they support the shrubbery.

Moral of the story: don't screw with people's livelihood for a
practical joke. This lawsuit strikes me as being more sensible than
the radio station suit because it was her job
I'm so not litigious. I just would never think to sue over something
like this - I would think - ha ha - not very funny people. But, I
would never sue.
But, I'm also a pretty big cynic, and I'd be reading the fine print of
any contest I entered, too. I'm the person that never believes that

As stupid as people appear to be these days when it comes to lawsuits
I'm on the side of the woman in this case. I know many people who have
never heard of a "100 Grand" candy bar.
Granted the promises to her kids are a little silly perhaps - but hey,
we don't know the mentality of this woman
Hooters did a similar thing to one of their workers:

If I where a juror on this case, it would come down to exactly the language
used by the radio station/DJ to promote this. If they had intentionally played
it as a cash prize, then I would lean toward at least something for the
plaintiff. If they had given reasonable clues that it was not a cas

Why? She won a 55 cent candy bar and turned it into $5k. She might get
a lot more. Pretty clever I think.

Okay, so since when did the term "grand" become a legal description of
money? It's slang, does slang stand up to verbal contract law? If I
heard someone say that they were giving away a 100 grand, the first
thing I would ask is, "do you mean $100,000?"
But, I really meant she was an idiot because
