Topic: Popehat lobs a bomb at couple trying legal thuggery.

All this took place on www.regretsy.com which is one of my new favorite skeptical sites. She doesn't affiliate herself with the skeptical movement, but she is one. Don't believe me? read anything she writes about here http://www.regretsy.com/category/bullshit/

So.... this jackass "lawyer" emails a threat of legal action to a commentor on etsy.com and regretsy picks up the story.

http://www.regretsy.com/2012/04/24/update-ecologica-malibu/

Popehat.com picks up the commentor's case pro bono and mails a letter back to previous jackass:

http://www.regretsy.com/2012/04/25/no-you-cease-and-desist/

Hilarity ensues.

I only wish I could write something as scathing to people I thought were clueless jerks as Popehat did to this guy.

Oh, man, I'm gonna go find a blog and write something libelous just so that guy will defend me and write a letter like that in my defense just so I can hang it up on my wall.

Mentioning the Streisand Effect was brilliant.

That was wonderful .

This is a wonderful story, and I'm glad you linked to it, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that referring to Tarot card readings for cats as bullshit qualifies her as a skeptic. It's certainly a lot better than her believing in tarot card readings for cats, of course.

Still skeptical about Hellen Killer being a skeptic huh? Read this 1000 word tirade from Jackie Stallone (Yes, Sylvester's mom) titled, In Defense of Rumpology http://jstallone.hubpages.com/hub/In-Defense-of-Rumpology

Seriously, this lady thinks she can read peoples asses and see the future http://www.jacquelinestallone.com/rumps.html

She's a known quack and frequent punching bag of skeptics everywhere, but for some reason it was this story on regretsy that got her all frothed up:

http://www.regretsy.com/2011/07/20/crack-head/

So Jackie Stallone decided to threaten regretsy with legal action if they didn't stop making fun of her for saying she can see people's futures by reading their behinds.

I'll even do a seven degrees of skepticism.

Hellen Killer who runs regretsy is in real life April Winchell
April Winchell was the voice actress who played Mrs. Finster in the Disney cartoon Recess
If you remember the show, Mrs. Finster had one kid who was her pet..Randall
Randall was voice acted by Jarrett Kaufman
Jarrett Kaufman plays Timmy on Mr. Diety and is on the steering committee for the Independent Investigations Group.

That was another wonderful read about another idiot throwing around threats of legal action, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that referring to ass readings as bullshit qualifies Helen Killer as a skeptic. It's certainly a lot better than her believing in ass readings, of course.

Damn, I thought my seven degrees of skepticism would be a lot more compelling than that. 

Yeah I know Helen Killer doesn't meet the standard definition of a skeptic, but seeing her ridicule the crap out of these wootards just brings me so much joy in my life.

Nevermind

Anybody else notice the comments on the last link ?

I actually touched myself halfway through the letter. I want to retain that lawyer!

Retain? I’ll fucking retain every drop of him when I am through with him!!

I don’t even like guys (being a big black man trapped in a white woman’s body), but I’d give this guy the BJ of his life after this letter.
I don’t give a good goddamn if he looks like Quasimodo.
I’m gonna go re-read this and fap some more.

Hypothetical: The Lawyer is a woman, and these comments are coming from men.

Discuss.

khendar, don't hijack my thread dude.

[khendar]

Very well. Withdrawn your honour.

Very well. Withdrawn your honour.

Duly noted...you do, however, get credit for bringing up a good point that should be discussed in another thread. You brought my attention to a lot of interesting comments on that post.

[jaypee]

That was an amazing read.
