Thanks, Jen!
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.

From start to finish, this week has sucked. I'd like a redo, please.
In non-me news, yo, Jackal: You may have noticed this already, but your friend's having fun with Wikipedia again.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Thanks for the heads up. I only undid his link once and then I stepped away. I'm gonna stay stepped away.
He's making me re-think the whole Creative Commons thing. I don't see that ending well.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I theorize if they take content and don't use it appropriately, it means we can threaten to hit them with a big stick as CC is a legal license, as opposed to saying 'Don't copy this stuff', which ain't.
Monique, next week will be better. Uhm, 'cause.

Well, in reality, not much of one, as I doubt either of us can afford a lawyer. It's the joy of the interweb.

Oh good god. Somebody edited this into Wikipedia's Drive entry at one point;
The premise for this show reminds many of previous plots, mainly Paramounts [[Rat Race (film)]]. Many bloggers have brought this up (citation needed), stating that this series is another act of "questionable ethics" on the part of the Fox media company.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That's hilarious.

Did they miss that Rat Race was basically It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World with rocket cars and ballooning heifers?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So under that criteria, Paramount has equally "questionable ethics" for lifting RAT RACE pretty much wholesale from IT'S A MAD...MAD WORLD.
