Meanwhile, in Australia: Man sues media for 'ridiculing' his mullet hairstyle after picture goes viral .

Haircut in question:



From the ABC article on the case:

quote:

... three media organisations, The Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph and the Australian Radio Network, argued in court "that the plaintiff, by reason of permitting himself to be photographed with a mullet hairstyle, has justifiably exposed himself to ridicule by the public".

For those of you who didn't want to click a reddit link:

Kid on social media posted:

One upvote and I'll shoot up my school

Kid on Reddit posted:

I live in Alberta, Canada.

In a state of fatigue I made a joke about a school shooting in an anonymous post on a social media around 2:30am. The post was deleted before 3am because it upset some people.

While I was asleep at 7am people were gossipping about it on Facebook groups; most of them were asking for classes to be cancelled.

The school didn't cancel classes but they did increase police presence.

Neither the police nor the school had tracked me down by the time I woke up around 9:30am. I immediately phoned to talk to the head of campus security and explained the situation (explaining that the post was deleted, that I had no real intent, and that I was actually just in my bedroom with plans to attend class as normal at 2pm). He sounded fairly calm. I agreed to go in to his office at 1pm before class.

It's now almost 11am. Now that I've called the school, what should I be doing for damage control?

Obviously I'm freaking out a little bit so any advice you can give is appreciated. Thank you.

But then:

There's some schadenfreude in that story too.

Games Workshop (Warhammer people) has licensed out their characters and settings to Fantasy Flight Games for a bunch of titles.
FFG took these properties and developed really great games around them, and they were wildly successful. GW makes bad business choices, and they have become increasingly jealous of FFG's growing success.

FFG's flagship tabletop Star Wars X-Wing miniatures game is making piles of money and growing like gangbusters, because the game itself is really good, the miniatures come pre-painted, and the required buy-in to start playing is wayyyyyy smaller than pulling together a Warhammer army.

So GW ended a mutually profitable licensing relationship because they are getting jealous of their decreasing relevance in the segment.

GW only exists because of sheer inertia. If people stopped playing Warhammer and Warhammer 40K just because it's an established game then they'd vanish in a loving heartbeat because there's basically no other reason to play it.

I don't play Warhammer but I like the ridiculous lore. Surely it's so derivative of so many other pop culture poo poo you could draw up a virtually identical game and successfully defend it in court.
