Wisconsin Billboard Advocating the POTUS be Impeached
I admit it... there are many philosophical, governmental, business, and ethical issues on which the POTUS and me would strongly disagree. I would be being less than honest if I claimed I didn't wish the POTUS were a different individual. One whose governing practices and philosophy of government more closely resembled that of Founding Fathers and responsible independent modern conservatives. The reality is however just this. The people of the United States elected this man to the highest office in the land for four years. He has served as POTUS for just over one year and we are seeing Impeach Obama signs on a major highway in Wisconsin. Obviously somebody in Wisconsin certainly does not like this POTUS very much. The unnamed company, presumably a small one, has paid to have the billboard displayed for six months at one thousand dollars a month. I am sure those collecting the six thousand dollars and the sign company are all to happy to collect...

HEY!!! I never authorized that picture!
ReplyDeleteGosh, so sorry Jerry. I completely forgot that was your avatar. When I was surfing the net and saw it, well, you know... :)
ReplyDeleteNo worry. Ten G's will cover my pain, humiliation, and suffering.
ReplyDeleteI doubt Tn Tolkien estate authorized that usage. Given how litigious they are, perhaps Jerry and whomever dummied up that artwork should be worried. Heck, Trump has a rep for being litigious AND being thin skinned.
ReplyDeleteWhat?!?
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw this, and before I saw the comments. "Hey! Jerry doesn't deserve this!"
ReplyDeleteYes, there indeed has been a lot of litigation and frivolous lawsuit harassment involved with the Tolkien estate.
One might also remember the copyright-troll Saul Zaentz, who held up the "Hobbit" movies for years and years. (After seeing what an overblown mess those films became, perhaps we can thank him)
Zaentz also famously harassed Jon Fogerty of "Creedence" and tried to prevent him from singing his own songs. This resulted in the "Vanz Kant Danz" video, which Zaentz also tried to censor:

I believe he is now deceased, and future generations will likely remember him as a pig with a boombox. Just like Steinbrenner will likely be known mainly to future generations as the head-bobbing guy in Seinfeld.
