Douchebag doesn't necessarily mean "unattractive," Owen. From what I saw of the book, if you washed the product out of these guys' hair, pulled up their pants, removed their gold chains, put their shirts on, changed their accents, unpopped their collars, got them to stop sneering, washed off the cologne and got them an education, some of them would be really hot!
@SaraRueful: seriously. all it would take in most cases would be a simple icepick lobotomy to turn them into your obedient brown eyed cumdump with abs of steel - until the drooling annoyed you, and then you just go find another one down at the jersey shore. it's a foolproof plan I tell you, I saw it on CSI !!!
@Shannon: Probably not. If you're just a regular person and you're photographed in public, are you allowed to get royalties? I thought there was something about "reasonable expectation of privacy" or something that excluded you then.
@braak: Hmm. I guess I was unsure because this guy is going to be making money off of their images. When you get photographed I thought that you had to sign a release form in order for them to use it? Otherwise what's to stop me from collecting any theme of other's images on the internet and publishing a book? If I was in there I'd definitely try to make some money off it, especially if I couldn't stop it from being published... the whole thing seems like it's missing a link to me, you know what I'm saying?
@Shannon: Yeah, I don't know for sure, actually. I think it has to do a lot with where you get the pictures from--and we're still not precisely clear on which of the photos on his website he's actually using.
But then, an AP photographer who takes a picture of a crowd shot at the inauguration doesn't have to get releases from all of the people in it in order to sell that picture to a newspaper, does he?
I just may get cable again for the sole purpose of this on Court TV.......
Ladies and gentleman of the Jury....A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons. The word comes from the French language, in which its principal meaning is a shower. And as you may surmise, if not already readily acquainted with such, you may know that a douche BAG is a piece of equipment for douching: simply put, a bag for holding the water or fluid to douche. Nevertheless, we have not been summoned here to argue the pros and cons of douching or the possible vageries of such. No. It is the SLAAANG usage of the word Douche bag which we will examine here. To that effect, it is the intention of this court to prove that Mr. Minelli is INDEED a (making quote signs with fingers) doooosh baaag, not in the literal sense of the word, but in the metaphorical sense, and that he women with whom he is so fortunate to have relationships with, be they either in the platonic or in the sexual sense as is suggest herein, and albeit however loose or (makes quote signs with fingers again) sluh TEE, that said women may be, such women may still be considered (finger quotes AGAIN) haawt or sexually desirable...yet they are quite CLEARLY beyond Mr Minelli's station....and that HE (points at Mr Minelli while facing jury)...HE is.CLEARLY underserving of their attention and/or affection. I shall prove this metaphor is, for all intents and purposes, is indeed apt and that Mr. Minelli is a person with variety of negative qualities, specifically arrogance and malice. IN SHORT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...MR. MINELLI....IS INDEED.....A....(scans jury with eyes) douchebag. (Turns on heels...walks away).........
.....of course, murmurs followed by brief wacks of gavel ensue.
