Hey Fred Phelps, God is wondering if you are serious?
So this week the Supreme Court is seeing a case that revolves around Fred Phelps, and the Westboro Baptist Church that he is the pastor of. Sorry, pastor and church are a stretch, I'll say leader and cult...yeah, cults have leaders. If you don't already know, Phelps and his band of bigots go to funerals of fallen soldiers and taunt the bereaved. Basically linking the death of soldiers as punishment for the United States allowing homosexuals to roam free. Initially he lost the first lawsuit, then the amount of money was reduced in appeal, then was reversed in another appeal, and now it lays before the Supreme Court. So, the issue before the court: are the WBC "protests" protected speech.
I think the Supreme Court will uphold the the current decision. Hate has become a very protected form of speech in this country. However, this is all beside my real question I want to ask. Is this guy serious? Does anyone really get to the point of obsessive hate that Phelps has reached and still remain clinically sane? I think not. In addition to the hate, he has a complex that him and his family are the only "elected" people of God who are guaranteed salvation since before they were born. If this is the case wouldn't you just want to relax? Can't he take some time off from hating for a while. I mean he's "elected" what does it matter. I don't mind if the Supreme Court rules in Phelps favor, just as long as the reason they give is that you can't sue someone who is mentally handicapped. That is a decision I can embrace.
So to wrap up, Phelps is a giant douchebag. (I ran out of cleverness)
Washed up rockband broke, bring lawsuit in desparation.
Nobody is ever surprised when a washed up celebrity, athlete, or musician brings a lawsuit against somebody in a last-ditch attempt to make some money. As such, nobody is shocked that the Romantics are suing Activision, the California-based game makers who created the wildly successful Guitar Hero games. "Why would they sue?" you might ask. One would assume that maybe Activision forgot to sign one of the dotted lines when securing copyright agreements to be able to reproduce the song, right?
WRONG! The band is actually claiming that the cover of the Romantics' "What I like I about you" sounds so much like the original, that it infringes on the groups rights to their own likeness. To put it simply - The cover was too good. While every band on Guitar Hero should be honored, as the game undoubtedly increased sales for obscure bands nobody remembered until they played , the Romantics have taken a re-popularization of their song as some sort of imaginary slight. Unacceptable.
