Shameless Appropriation

There's this whole thing going down in the music industry about copyright infringement. Apparently stealing or appropriating copyrighted music is the worst thing you can do. People are going to gaol over this. But maybe the copyright police should be checking out other areas of copyright misuse. All around the world (well, at least my surrounding suburbs), copywrote characters are being ripped off and misused by people's businesses like nobody's business. Suddenly Princess Jasmine from Aladdin is the official mascot for Golden Kebab & Pide Planet on Cleveland St. But that is just the beginning? I'm sure you're all well acquainted with my childhood (and recently, pathetic 2am gaming addiction) hero, Sonic:

STILL NO FUCKING POINTSMAN ARHT RESULT! ARGHT!
In other news, CNN.com has a list of the top 10 cheesiest movie lines of all time. Usually these things are suck, but one entry made me laugh so much a bit of beetroot from my giant work sandwich flew out of my mouth and stuck on Ruth's office wall. It's from Kevin Costner's 'The Postman'. A blind woman says to Kevin Costner: "You're a godsend, a saviour." He replies, assumedly deadpan without sarcasm,: "No, I'm a postman." Hilarious. He should stop trying to play alpha-mail roles. Luckily we'll never be tempted to say something so wanky to the pointsman, since he is neither a godsend nor a saviour. He's just a lazy evil genius.
