"I hope you burn in hell." These were among the pleasantries left on the web site of a high school student by some of his classmates. They also told him that they wanted to "rip out your fucking heart and feed it to you," "kill you" and "pound your head with an ice pick." Notwithstanding that they claimed that these things were intended as jokes, the appellate court was not amused when a lawsuit was filed by the student. The defendants moved to dismiss on the ground that this was protected speech, in part, because the student aspired to a theatrical career and was therefore a public figure. The boy's parents, on advice of the police, not only took the boy out of that school, they moved him from Los Angeles to Northern California. The Court said that these were not a few words shouted in the midst of a brawl. "It was a series of grammatically correct sentences composed at a computer keyboard over a period of at least several minutes."
I don't have a citation to give you for the 41 page opinion, it will be published tomorrow.

They may be grammatically correct, but they are still riddled with errors. Ice picks are for stabbing someone in the head, not for pounding.

You better get married soon or he's going to have someone's cock in his mouth before you can say, "Jack Robinson".
I'm probably the only one who's got no idea what is going on here.

You weren't going to go with the intriguing question on if someone can actually eat their heart after it has been ripped out of them? Or were we waiting for a doctor to give a final ruling? A dentist doesn't count, Stu.

This was already discussed in the sbox. Thrill said that it would resemble the scene in Hannibal where Hopkins feeds Ray Liotta his own brain.

Look at the first entry in the "one stop, never ending" Kurt Evans thread (or any of the entries for that matter) and I think that you will understand why I thought that this case would be interesting.

So, now STEW's making every thread about Kurt Evans? I am so confused.

No, no, no. That is Krut Evan. I don't know who Kurt Evans is.
