Huh, I thought today's news was free...maybe this one will work: [link]
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Not that it's news, but WalMart = craxxy:
She had taken the photos of her son that morning to use as head shots for an audition for a TV commercial. She had used her photo-editing software to add his name, information about him and even her own copyright to make the image look more polished, Helmick said.
She uploaded the 8-by-10-inch photos to Walmart.com, which prints photos sent to the site at a nearby store for customers to pick up.
At the store, Helmick said a clerk told her, "We can't release the pictures to you."
"What's wrong?" Helmick asked.
"We can't release the pictures to you without a copyright release form signed by the photographer," the clerk replied, according to Helmick.
The clerk said the photos looked like a professional had taken them, Helmick said. And no matter how much Helmick protested that she, an amateur, had snapped the shots of her son, she said the clerk wouldn't budge.
Helmick didn't have a copyright release with her, so she offered to write a note stating that she had taken the photos. She said Wal-Mart refused even that

See, but that sounds like a case of the clerk, er, not having a bright day. Because if he/she had followed that policy, i.e., obtained the permission of the copyright holder, i.e., THE WOMAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM/HER, no problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But that hinges on the idea that he believed her. Which he didn't.

It's not like Walmart doesn't have a notary public right there to make her note all official and legal and surely get the store off the hook if she was lying.

Sugardaddies are on special today? Wha?
Also that picture of Katie Holmes? Ugh. AND, FTR, She's actually fallen since she is with Cruise. Shudder.

Part of me hopes that Katie is having a big old hoot. But then the effusive interviews sprain my credulity. It totally could be a hoot, if you're not allergic to Tom. I could still respect her (and how sad she must be at the prospect of losing my respect) if she were larking.
