nescienx is doing a survey on
Music and Video Downloading and Sharing, a topic near and dear to my heart, as there is no other field (save capital punishment) which sees my personal opinions diverge so far from my professional ones. If you have time, we'd both be grateful if you
hopped on over and had a go at the survey! ♥
Criminal procedure is
coming out of my ears, thanks to an assignment which we did completed today that took SO MUCH LONGER than I expected it to take, but one more review session and we can wash our hands of our fictitious rapist client forever! FOREVER!!! Though one funny thing that did come out of it was our classmates created Facebook accounts for all the parties involved in the case. DIED LAUGHING. ... oh my God, and we have to wake up tomorrow to be drowned in civil procedure and commercial law. I DON'T WANT TO ATTEND LECTURES I just want to sit here and read House/Chase fanfiction. My brain is ALL TIRED OUT.
BUT HERE'S SOMETHING that makes me laugh! LAW IN MOTION videos courtesy of
elvaron, who I may love forever for hooking me up to crack like THIS.
Snail in a Bottle -
Donaghue v Stevenson in a MTV. Seriously, I was expecting, a lawyer version of Christina Aguilera's
Genie in A Bottle, but man was I wrong! ...WAIT. Is that LORD ATKIN dancing around singing about how he founded modern negligence? WHY YES IT IS, and singing, "Negligence these days is the king of the torts/ Hundred billion cases clogging up the courts".
My favourite by a MILE is
Bringing Tort Law Back - negligence (and it actually sets out the requirements really neatly!) to the tune of
Sexyback. It is
shocking how much this video gives me flashbacks to my university days. WHERE WAS THIS VIDEO WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY STUDYING TORT, EH?!
"I'm bringing tort law back/ Them other lawyers watch while I attack/
You make a motion watch while I attack/So sit back down and watch me argue back
Duty of care! (Just watch me prove it) Standard of care! (Just watch me prove it) Causation! (Just watch me prove it)"
Direction examination! (Just watch me prove it) Cross-examination! (Just watch me do it) Re-examination! (Just watch me do it)" OH OH today I saw a guy with a shirt logo that screamed, "WARNING! BORING SYMPTOMS!"
Also, the latest House episode? THAT, my friends, was the sound of a MILLION HOUSE/WILSON FANS THROWING THE PARTY OF THEIR LIVES. Us House/Chase people are just going to go slink in a corner and be grateful that our wombat's growing a spine. But, you know, I WISH ALL YOU HOUSE/WILSON FANS OUT THERE happiness! And I wish that every fandom pairing that has made its fans suffer as much as H/W has ALSO thinks to reward it as well as H/W fans are being rewarded. XD
He should fire them all and hire 40 more.
I AGREE ABOUT THE FIRING THEM ALL BIT. :))))
I don't know, I saw the potential for squeeing!
Cameron: I like him better this way, don't you?
House: *stunned silence*
Cameron: *smirk*
I LOVE HIM BETTER THIS WAY ♥ Being House's favourite blond whipping boy does get tiring after a while. ;)
Wo! I had to search for what you were talking about on youtube -- as I am without TV (and therefore without my poor, precious House and CSI).
And House/Wilson is my OTP for only two reasons: best friends, and the ability to throw in "oh Captain, my Captain" in any and all fanfic about them.
1. Chase's blond! And young and cute! And therefore so much great contrast with cranky, GROUCHY, NEITHER young nor cute (yes yes) House!
2. ALL THE BITCHFIGHTING! ♥ I love tension!
YEP THAT'S IT. :)
I hope you liked what you found! :) H/W wise. I don't watch much TV either, but not having a TV, that's ouch! But that's what the Internet is for! ♥
!!!
BUT YES. PUTTING THE FUNK IN LAW. ♥
! Thanks for helping me spread the word on the survey~ Words cannot express how grateful I am. XD Totally made my day! Any fanart requests, when I'm all free and have nothing to do in December? XD
OH OH today I saw a guy with a shirt logo that screamed, "WARNING! BORING SYMPTOMS!"
I love that shirt.
And I so need to catch up on House... haven't watched since Season 3, episode 18.
You're most welcome! *beams* Least I could do! ♥ I hope it helps, and that it speeds the data collection on! :) I EMIT HEARTS AT YOU FOR OFFERING! ♥ Fanart requests always make me :))))). I know how busy you will be, though, so I won't hold you to it - but if you have time whenever, anything Supernatural or Heroes works for me! :)
XDDD BORING SYMPTOMS INDEED. I wish I had one, I could bring it to class and obnoxiously put it on whenever the lecturer deserved it.
I haven't watched much at all! :) I JUST WATCH IT FOR THE BLOND that isn't Cameron. ;)
OMG I SO NEED TO CATCH UP ON PIRATING.
PIRATING OH WHY WHY WHY. I don't see why people think it is ALL bad! Here's why:
Why Pirating is Good for the Entertainment Industry
1. It forces entertainment companies/industries to keep on their toes and ensure that they develop new ways of marketing and new products to ensure that the consumer will want to choose buying the originals over pirating.
2. It prevents monopolies, forcing music/DVD industries to keep product prices at a reasonable level so that buying original products is a viable alternative to pirating.
3. In relation to #1, it ensures that the industries involved will continually need to put out high-end value-added products, e.g. DVD sets with additional bonus material (that can't be pirated, e.g. bonus books, fan memorabilia etc) to encourage buyers.
I LOVE THEM! I love the tort law one so much! EVEN MY BROTHER loved it and he hates lawyers!
