“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
Oh, man. This is especially hilarious for me, considering this was myself and my HS Sweetheart's "song". :D
ReplyDeleteI say you find her, put on a Psychonauts T-shirt, and rawk out with your caulk out. Then smooch your current GF.
ReplyDeleteWell, we're going to be shooting at each other with paintballs tomorrow, so finding her is already on my list of priorities (the camo gear's going to make it tough). As for the rest of that, maybe not so much, save the current GF smooching. :P
