Produce Paradise
seemed like a funny, good idea at the time.
These kinds of things usually are pretty damned funny when you are doing them. In fact, especially if you are the one doing them! In days of yore, the video would have been recorded and shelved and friends would have looked back in later years and laughed about how idiotic they were at that age.
But this is the age of instant digital media! The Fresh Beets miscalculated wildly and are now facing a $1 million lawsuit.
I understand that they want to protect their brand and their image, but come on. $1 million dollars? Is that really going to show those punks who’s boss? What is the point of bankrupting these idiots?
All it will do is make the next group of fools who do something like this try to do it more legit - like by purchasing their veggies before filming. That way they will be able to argue it is their own property with which they are, ahem, performing.
Instead of suing them, A&P should be thanking them for the free international advertising.
Earlier this week the democratic house capitulated to King George by allowing the FISA law to be changed in such a way that he can now wire-tap calls and monitor emails from any US citizen to outside of the US, this surveillance needs no suspicion, no pre-approval, and no repercussions if it “accidentally” records discourse within our country. Since Consiglieri Gonzales is in charge of monitoring this program it’s unlikely that the oversight will be anymore than a rubber stamp.
A bridge in America just shouldn’t fall down.
