The thing that impresses me about the Taco Bell lawsuit is that it's not for damages, just to stop them using false advertising.
I would love to see fast food chains do different qualities of produce. KFC having an organic/free range chicken option (probably at double the price) for instance.
That extreme porn law has been left deliberately vague either so that they can use it to prosecute anybody they want, or so that nobody can actually be prosecuted under it.
And I just can't figure out which is more likely.
Refusing to define what is illegal under the terms of the law opens a huge counter-argument though.
Ach, but the whole law is nonsense anyway. Any image depicting rape, makes it illegal to own any DVD that contains a rape scene.
The thing about the KJV is part of why this semester I've had to start threatening penalties if students don't use the NRSV. I started off my first Bible class saying that students should probably use the NRSV, and they used the KJV (or the NIV, which is better, but still). Next class, I said they needed to buy an NRSV, same results. Next class, I said they need to cite the NRSV, same results.
So this time I'm saying full-on that I will take off points if they cite any other version. We'll see as the semester progresses how idle this threat is.
