I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ita, honestly, not sure.

The guy who directed Old School also made a documentary on Fraternity hazing that never got aired because the releases signed were done so while subjects were drunk. The project was made for HBO, but they refused to air it for fear of lawsuits.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Shrift, I've heard good things about Uptown Animal Hospital [link] In fact, I should check this place out. My girls will be needing their annual soon.

Hee. I just pictured tiny kitty speculums.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I know he's been sued by some people, and I don't think the cases have been successful (I have no idea) but how does the "Girls Gone Wild" guy around it? I have to believe that a lot of those women are less than sober when signing the releases.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

but how does the "Girls Gone Wild" guy around it?

He just got successfully sued for... something. Not getting release forms?

I suspect it involves a ton of out-of-court settlements.

Ah. Ok. Like I said, I have no idea on how often/how successful those lawsuits have been.

What is even happening?

Contracts signed while plastered still hold, right?
I took business law yonks ago, but I'm pretty sure I learned then that they don't. The problem comes in proving you were impaired at the time you signed, though.

Well, if you could prove that you only go wild when plastered....

"Of course I was impaired when I signed it! My top is off! My cooter's showing! I wouldn't do that unless I was drunk as hell!"

I also suspect that his lawyers are very very sleazy and very very experienced. (And that most 18 year old girls would rather just take the money than appear in court and admit that they were dumb enough to sign onto a GGW video, drunk or not.)
