It’s a very gray area of the law that hasn’t really been talked about yet,” said Doody. http://bit.ly/fupMGJ  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I would hope someone would slap a lawsuit on his smarmy a@# right quick and see how he feels about spending all his time and money defending his moves in a court instead of in a news story.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I feel as you do but unfortunately, this scumbag is probably safe...until one of the young ladies fathers or boyfriends finds him.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Though I might also uggest that by stating all rights are lost once a photo is uploaded, this fellow could be stepping in a pile of Doody.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (2) | Huh?

Even though the subject is serious, your post is hysterically funny! Good one.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Sean D.

Howdy Doody ... it just makes me chuckle. Of course he's too young to get the reference.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
