An L.A. man has filed a lawsuit for violations of his privacy and infliction of emotional distress. Who has he sued? The Pasadena-based Pacific Reproductive Services. What’s that? An L.A. area sperm bank. Why’d he sue? Because someone stashed a pinhole surveillance camera in the ceiling of the, uhm, production room. Apparently, the donor didn’t like being on this version of “Candid Camera.”
Are you a fan of “The Feathered Warrior” or “The Gamecock,” two separate magazines about cockfighting (seriously, there are two cockfighting mags)? If so, and if you get your cockfighting magazine fix filled by Amazon, you butter hurry up and complete your back stock. Because The Humane Society is threatening to sue the online supplier, arguing that Amazon is violating the Animal Welfare Act by mailing these magazines to purchasers.
Note to self. Let’s say I find myself in a situation where I’m so fed up with a tree that I just need to shoot it, kill it real dead-like. I may not want to call-in to the “Opie and Anthony Show” to announce that I’m going to kill said tree. Makes it really easy for the local authorities to bust me for illegally discharging my gun.
And, finally, this is the best. A Tennessee man had his middle name legally changed to “none of the above.” Now, he’s suing to be allowed to have his name on the fall ballot in the governor and Senate races. He’s currently being blocked on the basis that his name would cause confusion. Which it probably would. But it would also give the disheartened and disenfranchised a true option. Plus, who wouldn’t buy a “None of the Above” campaign shirt?
