"ersatz taxonomy"!! (that's actually a great descriptor for the concept behind that crap foldout.) malkmus as "gnomic"?! who is this attorney? love it but i hope the judge doesn't find it too cute. good thing he (it's gotta be a "he," right?) and his clients have a decent cause of action.

"...it is obvious to any reasonable person viewing the actual offending foldout in its setting when one comes across it, that it is the star attraction of a carefully designed and executed marketing and advertising pitch for Camel cigarettes. Indeed, that is the only possible impression that can be left on the mind of any sentient twenty-first century being with eyesight."

Someone is having a grand old time with their media law degree. And hey, maybe Jamie Stewart would use his chunk of the billions to run for President...

$195.3 billion? They might as well go ahead and ask for 9 hundred trillibozillikajillion.


C'mon, one fucking hundred and ninety fucking five point fucking 3 BILLION?
