btw you do realize the jury awarded Falwell $100,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages.

That's the not the point. The point is a precedent was set after SCOTUS heard the case (actually we probably have to give Thomas Nast the credit - maybe?) that when stuff like this can reasonably seen as poking fun at a public figure, done so in a way that nobody (and apparently not everybody) can think that it is possibly true - you can't sue for libel/slander.

Yeah.... However, in this case, its not soooo far fetched that ppl wouldnt believe it to be true. Being that scenario has actually happened ala Elway/Eli for example. Also, the author is implying the quotes are donalds words. Luckily the author doesnt live in n korea. Plus, I think Falwell Flynt could possibly go another way in todays age if someone challenged it...

I could see Falwell Flynt as a form of bullying. Which is a very touchy subject now a days.. its all fun and games til someone goespostal.

Is this thread an April fools prank, or just the OP link?

Toothpaste oreos would definitely be a lawsuit.

Don't be absurd. Mirer is like 50 now. The Bears could more easily trade down multiple times and get like twenty 7th round picks.
