   I think that photo is hilarious. The 3 white people in the photo put on slitty eyes while the only Asian in the photo shows that “hey, I’m asian but my eyes are nothing like that!”. Maybe it’s just that I’m one of those Asians who are confident enough to have a laugh at their own expense.

   Grievience mongers of any colour sicken me.

   If I want to make a funny face for a picture, is it safe to squeeze my cheeks together? Or would I get sued for that?

   I should probably get a legal opinion from a law firm regarding all possible funny faces.

   Miley was making a foolish joke that shows her age. No one is cutting Miley slack for the poor judgment

   I am. Arguing “poor judgement” by her is a joke, and is a symptom of our over-PC society. She didn’t beat anyone up, or call someone the “n” word, or get caught on video blowing guys in the bathroom…she made a face. Oh, the horror!!!!

   The only people exercising poor judgement here is the moron suing her, and those who feel the need to assign moral equivalency to a kid goofing around with her friends.

   Here in Florida we have 4 medical schools but we have 11 (soon to be 12) law schools. This country is on the wrong track in soooo many ways.

   That reminds of a nitwit trial lawyer as a guest on a talk radio program defending huge jury awards. His reasoning was that there are so many lawyers for so few ‘deep pocket’ trials that, when you manage to get retained for one, you HAVE TO go for a huge award because you might not get another case for a long time! Lawyers have got to eat ya know!

   Too bad it was radio, I wished I could’ve seen his face when he said that.

   On second thought … if I had seen him say that on TV I probably would have thrown something at him and broken the set.

   I would be inclined to agree about the severity; however, there is still something to be said about the fact that she is still a very popular figure for young girls. It is a slight bit more than some random teenager making a face.

   However, I don’t like political correctness, either. The reason I called it “poor judgment” was because it could have consequences (albeit likely minor) to her career (e.g. endorsements, PR, etc). To the average teenager, who would care? However, she earns a very large living on her image. Doing this, joke or not, did a bit of damage to her image. That’s poor judgment for someone in her place.

   I’m certainly not horrified by it. I think the whole thing is rather dumb, but I also wouldn’t blame any sponsor that might choose not to use her in their advertising.

   Why don’t they sue John McCain for his “gooks” comments?

   A police officer’s opinion of attorneys:

   An attorney was questioning a police officer in a trial, trying to cast doubt on the word of the first officer on the scene of the crime…

   Atty: So you trust the other officer?

   Cop: Yes, sir. I trust him with my life and the lives of my family.

   Atty: You trust him that much, huh? Tell me this, detective: Do you have a locker in the police station where you keep your stuff?

   Cop: Yes, sir.

   Atty: And do you keep a lock on this locker?

   Cop: Yes, sir. I do.

   Atty: Well, if you trust your brother officers so much, why do you keep a lock on your locker?

   Cop: Well, sir, our locker room is in this building, and attorneys have been seen in there.

    “They” who?

    Did you even bother to form a complete thought before posting this? Or was the inclusion of McCain’s name with the word “gook” enough to forgo any actual point?

    I’d accuse him of “Type, Submit, Think”…but I honestly don’t think he even thought about his comment after posting it.

    I don’t understand why orientals are offended by someone noticing that they have different eyes than occidentals. (Not asians, just orientals. Asians typically have the same style of eyes that the western world has)

    It’s not an insult. It’s just a difference. Why complain that someone noticed it? What’s next: The Irish are going to start complaining that people noticed that they typically have blond or red hair? The Chinese will complain that someone noticed that they all have black hair? Africans will complain that someone mentioned that their skin is darker than that of others?

    Sheesh. Get over yourselves, races. We all have differences, and that’s fodder for humor. Quit trying to make humor illegal.

    Ok, so blowing people up – or your girlfriend blowing herself up under your direction – is ok and results in a Profesorship and juice at the White House. Pulling your eyes back results in a $4 billion lawsuit. Yes, the Dems have made their mark.

    What possible grounds can there be for a lawsuit?

    Napolitano’s insulting my veteran status was worse. I just consider the source and laugh it off.
