Leggings aren't see-through. "See-through" leggings are mislabeled footless tights.

Funny enough after I posted about the flag curtain I saw that story further down and almost repeated myself, then looked at the name and realised I'd already told you! :D

I dunno, "many" can be a pretty vague word. It's not the same as saying "all" or "most". "Many" could easily refer to just 1% of the UK population.

My husband and his housemates at university had a Confederate flag as their living room curtain. He's embarrassed by it now, but the others still think it's cool.

As they are British, I highly doubt that they would be flying the Stars and Bars like they would at an American event.

Yeah, every article Jez has posted on this has been very anti-Beasties. I haven't read the one on Gawker yet.

Also, they didn't change the lyrics when they used "We Are the Champions".

You and your lawyer friend are aware that even if the parody use was allowed, Goldieblox still used the Beastie Boys name, implying the group endorsed the product, right?

Haha, no biggie. And I must admit I was incorrect about Adam and Mike not suing. They did in fact countersue in December. Goldieblox's open letter said they would withdraw their suit, but they didn't.

I was sort of referencing Monster Energy (which predates the Goldieblox incident), but it could be any kind of company.

Jesus fucking Christ, did you not read the article? This is exactly what they claimed, and they sued the Beasties. Adam and Mike never filed anything against them.

Goldieblox sued the Beasties, not the other way around. Furthermore, if they hadn't said anything about this then the next time a soda company decides to use their song without permission they won't have a leg to stand on, because they let Goldieblox get away with it.

Goldieblox sued THEM. Maybe you should bother actually reading about this case.

I was very disappointed by the lack of Harley the first time I checked this thread. Thanks for correcting that!

That is very true!

Whenever I hear people talk about how shit American TV is and how great British TV is I like pointing out such highbrow fare as Sex Box, Gogglebox* (a show were you're watching people watch TV), and The Nightclub Toilet. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all US television is The Wire and all UK television is…

I'd rather have Glucozade Port.

ALL international flights offer free dinner.

Even 1986 is a bit generous, the Kurtis Blow song is from 1984!

My husband is a foot taller than me, no way is that shit gonna work.
