[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
He's making me re-think the whole Creative Commons thing. I don't see that ending well.
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.

How big a stick?
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.
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?
So under that criteria, Paramount has equally "questionable ethics" for lifting RAT RACE pretty much wholesale from IT'S A MAD...MAD WORLD.
Which was lifted from Around the World in 80 Days, and so forth back to the Odyssey.
Wasn't Seth Green in Rat Race? If Tim and friends cast him in Drive, imagine the outrage on Wikipedia!
