Obama just killed it. And good for him.

Yeah, but is that "I'll veto it" against it, or "I'll sign it anyway, but I'll make comments against it in my signing statement" against it? Or perhaps "I'm against it now, but if it's placed as an amendment or a rider in another bill later, I'll sign it anyway."

Yes, a lot of other people fretted so you wouldn't have to.

They wouldn't have had to fret if other people hadn't wasted time agitating for the legislation.

We can hardly expect the MPAA to stop being retards overnight. They've been doing this since the invention of motion pictures.

But the logo is owned by the Jets.  So if you lived in a US in a hypothetical universe where they passed this, the Winnipeg Jets would take possession of your firstborn.  Which, if he's really good at hockey, might work out for you anyways.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I think the logo is owned by the CF, and licensed to the Jets. :hmm:

My kid has a little toy hockey stick.  He actually picked it up and was using it to hit a ball around the floor the other day. :cry:

My kid has just about worn out his little wooden souvenir Blues hockey stick.  And pucks slide surprisingly well on our living room hardwood floor.  In terms of "playing", so far he's showing more interest in hockey than football, baseball or basketball.

Excellent...

Of course if my kid has shown any interest ing "playing" any sport, it's probably curling.  He loves to grab mommy's broom and run around with it.

It's a shame that 40lb hunks of granite make for very poor children's toys. :(

Unlikely. We're likely looking at a few staffers whose job this is anyway.  Internet angst doesn't matter much.
