This girl totally peed herself in one of my classes last year after the teacher wouldn't let her go to the restroom.

There was this one kid a few years ago at my school who engaged in, uh, lewd activities with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the boys' bathroom.

Note that this is just old middle school lore, yet some truth may exist in it.

RE:
Infringement of ASSASSIN’S CREED Mark and Jade Raymond’s Personal, Privacy, and Publicity Rights

Dear Mr. Kyanka:

We are counsel to Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. (“Ubisoft”), publisher of the popular video game ASSASSIN’S CREED and employer of Ms. Jade Raymond (“Ms. Raymond”). Ubisoft is also the owner of the following U.S. trademark applications for the ASSASSIN’S CREED mark (the “Mark”): Serial No. 78850944; Serial No. 78866696; and Serial No. 78850968. In consequence of Ubisoft’s extensive efforts and expenditures, substantial goodwill has been built up for Ubisoft and the products and services sold under the Mark, and the ASSASSIN’S CREED game is one of the most widely anticipated games of the year.

Ubisoft has recently learned that the extremely offensive pornographic image (the “Image”) accessible at [link removed], a copy of which is attached hereto, is being used on your website located at http://www.somethingawful.com and/or other related sites, including, but not limited to, http://forums.somethingawful.com (collectively, the “Site”). Such Image and misuse of the ASSASSIN’S CREED mark constitute trademark infringement, dilution, and unfair competition in violation of common law trademark rights, the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§1125(a) and 1125(c), and state law.

Furthermore, the Image’s blatant, vile, and unauthorized misappropriation of Ms. Raymond’s name and likeness, and your conduct in using the Image on your Site, have caused immeasurable harm to Ms. Raymond’s reputation and career, and constitute an egregious infringement of Ms. Raymond’s personal rights and privacy rights. The Image and your conduct also constitute an egregious unauthorized commercial exploitation of Ms. Raymond’s rights of publicity in violation of, without limitation, her common law rights of publicity and California Civil Code §3344, which provides in relevant part:

“Any person who knowingly uses another’s name, .., photograph, or likeness, in any manner, on or in products, merchandise, or goods, or for purposes of advertising or selling, or soliciting purchases of, products, merchandise, goods or services, without such person’s prior consent…shall be liable for any damages sustained by the person or persons injured as a result thereof.”

It is well established that a person who commercially exploits the name or likeness of someone without their consent is liable for all of the damages caused thereby. Additionally, the Image and your conduct in using the Image on the Site constitute unfair business practices and false advertising in violation of the California Business and Professions Code; intentional infliction of emotional distress; a violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §1125(a); and harassment, which is a criminal offense.

Please also note that any failure to comply with applicable privacy laws may result in direct action against you by the Federal Trade Commission, in addition to other litigation.

Ubisoft hereby demands that you immediately: (1) permanently remove the Image from your Site, databases and servers and prevent any further uploading or display thereof; (2) permanently cease and desist all unauthorized use and hosting of images using the ASSASSIN’S CREED mark and Ms. Raymond’s name and/or likeness; (3) provide us with the name and contact information of the person who originally created and/or posted the Image; and (4) complete, execute, and return to me the enclosed Declaration by November 16, 2007 to confirm that you are complying with Ubisoft’s demand.

While Ubisoft hopes to resolve this matter quickly and without resort to further legal action, Ubisoft reserves all rights to seek appropriate legal relief, including attorneys’ fees, injunctive relief, statutory damages, costs, and enhanced damages.

Sincerely,

David Anderson

"In late 2006, Wheaton North received publicity from local TV news stations and Internet sites after student Marco Castro was accused of ejaculating into a vat of ranch salad dressing in the cafeteria. The allegations were proven and the school "[took] very severe measures against this student." The teenager was sentenced to 120 hours of community service with an AIDS organization and ordered to pay a $750 fine. He was also ordered to attend counseling, write a letter of apology to the high school, and enroll in college (though expelled from school, Castro had amassed enough credits to graduate). Castro will be eligible to have the misdemeanor convictions expunged from his record if he stays out of trouble for two years."

I think they should have just made him eat the dressing, then take one kick to the junk from every student in the school.

There was an Epic raid going on on 4chan. Another one of those Battletoads things where they call in a gamestop and ask to reserve a copy.

Well, I decided to kill two birds with one stone.

Remember how I told you all of that classic video games store down the street that caters to furries? Well, I got their number, posted it several times and told them to ask for Marco.

Lulz ensued as the store was Raided and other tards were trolled when they found out that this store Actually HAD Battletoads.

So I did two great things today: I raided a store that caters to furs, and I helped out the War Effort.

Hail to the King baby!

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
That's so far from epic, it doesn't even register.
Even calling a smoke shop and asking if they have Prince Albert in a can would be closer to registering.

However, your "Hail to the king, baby" brings you back from the fail trail.

Zeno is right. It is one of the best lines ever. Then again, what has Bruce Campbell said that ISN'T the best line ever?

He could say "I tied my shoe" and it'd be awesome.

I'm not sure, but I think the chin has something to do with it.

Don't tell me they're soiling the name of Battletoads.

I was the only person in my group that could get past the motorcycle/jetbike/whateverthosethingswere stage.

I wanted to hug Kevin Smith for using that song at the end of Clerks II.

I also wanted to hug him for putting 1979 in Clerks II.

EDIT: While I'm on the subject of said film, Clerks II is the only film in recent memory that has made me cry. Seriously, whenever I see the jail scene, I'm brought to tears.

I'M INEBRIATED AGIAN, EVERYONE. I had five beers (Budweiser, it was much tastier than the James Ready 5.5 I'm used to) and a couple shots of Jack Daniel's. I got durnk with the sketchiest people in the world. We walked for two hours in the frozen tundra to find a place to drink, and they lit a fire to keep us warm. Blah. We got pizza and cookies though, it was all good.

Chekt, just because someone tells people on the internet that they're drunk or high doesn't mean they're saying "Oh yeah, I'm drunk right now, I'm Funk HARDCORE." Sometimes they're just looking for someone to talk to or just find an outlet and tell people that understand him all the crap going on in their lives.

Stop assuming that, jerk.

And the Battletoads thing is awesome. The sheer number of misuses of the word "epic" on this forum should tell you that Sree has no idea what he is talking about.
