Emerson lawsuit

On October 2, 2006, Emerson Electric Company, an appliance market competitor of NBC's owner General Electric, filed suit in federal court against NBC. The suit was in regards to a scene that appeared in "Genesis," the pilot episode, which depicts Claire Bennet reaching into an active garbage disposal unit—labeled "In-Sink-Erator"—to retrieve a ring, and severely injuring her hand in the process. Emerson claims the scene "casts the disposer in an unsavory light, irreparably tarnishing the product" by suggesting serious injuries will result "in the event consumers were to accidentally insert their hand into one."

Emerson had asked for a ruling barring future broadcasts of the pilot, which was previously available on NBC's Web site and has already aired on NBC Universal-owned cable networks USA Network and The Sci Fi Channel. It also sought to block NBC from using any Emerson trademarks in the future.[25]

On February 23, 2007, the case against NBC was dropped. NBC Universal and Emerson Electric reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit outside of court. [26]

The episode in question was briefly unavailable in the iTunes Store, but an edited version was shortly made available for download.


Songs that make no sense considering their setting:

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise


He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash


ITT, we discuss stupid shit that doesn't make sense.

    It's obligatory because you wrote a line and a half for a topic. It just looks like your lazy, and slightly stupid.

    a friend of mine from high school bought a 15k mitsubishi fto and bought some bodykit to make it look more flashy when it was already pretty clearly a ricer car

    then he got a big spoiler that basically blocked the view out the back and weighed down the boot so it wouldnt stay open when you try to put something in it

    and we laughed but were also jealous that he bought this car himself

    i went to his house last week and he had like 3 or 4 more cars
    friggin what the fuck we finished high school like 2.5 years ago howd he do that and also why not buy another type of thing like a boat or crystal gravy boat

    "Ricer" and/or "riced-out" are pretty commonly used, duder. I don't really know how else one would describe the phenomenon.

    Reminds me of my buddy who's now in Calgary. He's driving one of the current vettes. Nice fucking car. The reason he could afford it was that he was living at home in his early 20s. I don't hold that against him personally because I'd like to be in that kind of situation.

    I wouldn't call that stupid either. In fact it's rather smart. Life's short, and if you can climb into a nice car for some of the ride, then that's good.

    His parents are well off and his house was nice. We'd have 4 table Texas Hold'em Tournaments more often then I can remember. They usually ended up lasting until 5 in the morning. Then we went for breakfast at Perkins.

    They dubbed me Bluffer McGee once I decided to try to bluff someone off the pot with a 7-2 offsuit. Thing is, that strategy was working all night.

    actually what i was referring was something I saw a few months ago, a fat guy wearing a wife beater and sweat pants walking out of his trailer and getting into a new ford mustang

    No, my reasoning is that when I see a dead horse whacked repeatedly, it tends to give me a negative impression of the person beating it.

    I don't think that falls under the definition of petty.

    We do the same thing for one of my friends. We usually alternate the stereotypical Asian stuff with stereotypical Mexican stuff, though. He's Filipino, I'm not sure which one he hates more.

    Felt like a good a time as any to mention a Darwin Awards honorable mention. So, here's one I found:

    (13 May 1998, New Jersey) There's apparently not much to do in Long Branch during the long May evenings. A 51-year-old man decided to satisfy his fantasy of robotic love by seeking sexual gratification with his vacuum cleaner. Most men would think twice before poking a valuable organ into a vacuum, but this optimistic fellow had no qualms about the safety of his intended course of action. And using a vacuum cleaner had the appealing aspect of tidying up his mess after satisfying him.

    Our horny hero didn't realize that the suction on his hand-held Singer A-6 was created by a blade whirling just beneath the hose attachment, adjacent to the collection bag. His search for pleasure was cut short seconds after he stuck his penis into the vacuum and the blade lopped off part of his penis. With a sense of loss, he staggered to the phone and called police. He told them that he had been stabbed in his sleep. When police pointed out suspicious evidence, the victim claimed not to remember the incident.

    Surgeons at Monmouth Medical Center stopped the bleeding, but were unable to reattach the 1/2" severed part. Though this man is still alive, his ability to reproduce has been curtailed by both his injury and his proclivity for household appliances.
