Can anyone update me on a couple of things?

Australian news wasn't exactly international and I wasn't on the net very much.....

- What happened in the Kobe Bryant rape case?
- My avatar has gone missing so can someone tell me what happened with Fox threatening to sue and DU taking down all the Simpsons images?

I've missed so much.....I mean, who could ever have imagined that Michael Jackson would be a child-abusing, insane pervert? I never saw that one coming....

1. Kobe Case

Are you referring to the Franken/Faux News "Fair and Balanced" case...I believe it was thrown out...

MJ...well...who knows...I think he's weird anyway...

2. Thanks, but I meant the Simpsons avatars on DU....

I used to have Homer as my logo, but when I came back today there was a message saying "Image removed due to threat of legal action from Fox".

4. Jesus Christ

Which part of "due to threat of legal action from Fox" didn't you understand? Did you think Basil Brush had stolen your avatar?

6. Now there's no call for sarcasm....

I wanted a bit more information on it all, such as provided by AlienGirl, who didn't see the need to take the piss for asking a perfectly sensible question.

:-)

Boom boom!

5. Fox sent Skinner a nasty-gram

Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 05:33 AM by AlienGirl

The Fox network objected to Homer being used as the icon for "dumb" in Top Ten Conservative Idiots. Therefore, all Fox "intellectual property" had to go, including avatars.

Good news: you know you've hit the big-time when Fox wants to sue you!
