…involve scrawling hate-speech on an American flag, then setting it on fire in a crowded theater, while loudly yelling "FIRE!" followed by a string of profanity, and finally complain when the private theater kicks me out? 😉
Sounds like an opportunity to start carrying around an 8' pole to ensure one is sufficiently far away from the officer(s), with the pole hovering inches from them. All while saying "I'm not touching you!" 😉
I too found this pretty hilarious, and would have even laughed if it was some sort of poster of the FSM or some Babylonian/Egyptian/Assyrian god. The law was a bit short-sighted and I wouldn't feel bad if it were struck down.
dagnabbit, no way to delete this? (weird inline login UI submitted the comment before I'd actually gotten a chance to type it)
Though my understanding is that I paid with my data—usage patterns, friend-network information, posted content others ostensibly want to read, etc. Does this mean I can get them to give me all that data back and not keep any of it?
For those times you run too fast and need to slow your game by 1–3 weeks while delivering the ball to the wrong goal, damaged. Or you're cool with just losing the ball altogether. Or you don't want to play games on Sunday.

the former police & police union folks start importing crime to "prove" that the police were keeping crime low…
But nah, that would never happen, right?
The guy holding a "police ahead" sign here in the north-Dallas metroplex eventually had charges dropped but shouldn't police know this doesn't work?
If copyright is only extended towards "art", it would free up a lot of commercial (formerly) "art" for reappropriation by culture.
I didn't hack into the bank and perform a wire-transfer of millions of dollars out of IRS accounts into offshore holding accounts. I was performing a citizen's arrest on the funds for the illegal asset-forfeiture seizures they supported.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Transportation Security Administration announces its recent partnership with the Roman Catholic Church. Beginning in time for the Christmas travel season, the Vatican will supply additional staff to perform pat-down searches and monitor the full-body scanners.
A small but vocal minority of fliers have expressed concern regarding the program. TSA spokesman Dick Tickle dismisses the opposition as an aggrieved minority, stating that the financial savings and increased security benefit taxpayers and travellers alike.
"My co-workers and I are uncomfortable with the intimate nature of the pat-down searches required for those who opt out of the full-body scannings," notes TSA agent Willie G. Roper. "The priests don't seem to object, the people trust them, and they reportedly bring years of experience with them."
Father John Geoghan eagerly looks forward to helping secure America's transportation network. "I've seen the images produced by the backscatter/millimeter-wave systems, and there's no hiding anything."
Given the expected success of the new program, Tickle hints that the agency plans to extend its subcontracting relationships, starting with state correctional institutions. "A number of parolees and work-release prisoners have a difficult time finding jobs because of their record. In some cases, their names will appear on the sex-offender registry for the rest of their life. We offer them hope at reintegrating into society while making travel safer."

Was actually disappointed when it didn't involve the ISP throttling the troll's connection to the internet using some sort of bandwidth-shaping or destination blocking. I mean, blocking access to google (that den of copyright infringement!) would certainly slow down searches for infringement. ????
“Your honor, these representatives for {PETA,big media} are really, really dumb, so we move to declare their copyrights as void…”
I've noticed the same thing and come to the same conclusion that it wouldn't happen. But it does have a certain "burn it to the ground and start over" appeal.
