I clapped when I read that. It's an appropriate reaction to a bullshit fine that is being exacted for a bullshit reason using a bullshit rule as a bullshit excuse.

You know who wouldn't stand for this shit?

I think they're lucky to get away with such a small fine. I don't remember the laws saying it's wrong to do harm to people, "unless they're Fidel Castro". If the participant had not been Fidel, but an American, they could have sued for damages.

That's how I feel about most laws. People seem to think they only apply in limited circumstances, but believe it or not our laws are designed to protect ALL people...

That, and there're so many worse things the FCC is trying to do, I can't complain when they enforce a GOOD law. I know I don't want my conversations broadcast (although I DO do that sometimes....) Of course, luckily for me, I don't actually have to inform the other party in those cases, although I do.

Yeah, me too. I worry sometimes that watching too many funny things has robbed me of the ability to take anything seriously anymore.

YES, that and, I fear that I will never be able to come up with anything originally funny.

So, now I'm a putz who takes nothing serious, AND cannot make my own jokes.

Grrrrrrrrreat. (fuck, even that's taken from Tony the fucking Tiger)

Funny is in the eye of the beholder. I mean, I'm sure you make people laugh at points. Or maybe not. But anywho. Don't limit yourself mentally, and all that.
