Alright dudes, get ready for some serious LOLs.

I'll just spare my jibberish, and just copy Leon's article:

Huseyin Kalkan, the mayor of BATMAN, an oil-producing city in southeastern Turkey is suing Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. for royalties from "The Dark Knight" for using the city's name without permission.

http://i34.tinypic.com/2wnogwg.png

Until the 1950s, Batman was a small village. When oil companies moved in and the city's economy started to grow, population figures began to rise. Many Turkish workers and state officials settled in the city. Presently the population of Batman faces a high level of unemployment.

"There is only one Batman in the world," Kalkan said. "The American producers used the name of our city without informing us."

The mayor is prepping a series of charges against Nolan and Warner Bros., which owns the right to the Batman character, including placing the blame for a number of unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate on the psychological impact that the film's success has had on the city's inhabitants.

No one from the town of Batman has explained why it took so many years to take legal action.The mayor is working on gathering evidence he claims will show that the city of Batman predates the 1939 debut of Bob Kane's superhero in DC Comics.

Lol, that's why they're suing. This is a desperate attempt for money on the most pathetic level.

It's Turkey. They're crafty bastards... I mean, the town's name is Batman of all things...you think a place with a name like that won't cook up some kind of scheme?

Batman has been around for quite some time (the graphic novels, the cartoons, the movies), and now they're suing 'em for using the name?

Heck. They're suing THE DARK KNIGHT when BATMAN BEGINS started long ago.


That's just stupid. They won't get the money.

Really though, let's try to make friendly. If you haven't noticed, some newb jumped in and destroyed my awesome, fabulous thread. So, I'm trying to keep good humor about it. :)

Ummmmmm. Okay. So first:
1. You insinuate that I'm gay
2. You insinuate that I'm a man (which is offensive, since I'm not, and this has been pointed out to you more than once)

and you try to tell me to "make friendly?"

You were the one to derail your own thread. This "newb" just made a statement, which wasn't offensive in anyway--that's a far cry from "destroying" the thread. Also, you are not much more of a veteran than THEWINE, so calling him/her a "newb" is pompous as well. You're obviously not trying to keep a good humor, you're trying to stir up drama for attention. You did this same crap with Kaki over Grindhouse.

Troll.

No, that doesn't look like your username, but it does look like someone commenting on someone else's sig, then taking it. I seem to remember that you were digging for compliments on your Grindhouse sig in another thread.

Yeah.

This, however, does look like your username. And a derail.

I also like how you decided to conveniently ignore half my post.

Damn. That ignore tactic worked once on Kaki... =_=;;

Anyways, look. I don't want my thread to turn into another war. Contrary to popular belief...I ain't looking for drama. >_> So if it'll...satisfy you, I'll apologize for my Epic Fail statement.

Is it too much to ask to get back on topic, or at the very least, continue with teh funneh pictures?

Q, I'm tired of this. The others have come in looking for a fight, but it really wasn't until after you made some pretty rude comments.....You know what, I'm not even going to try and sugarcoat this. There is a reason why people clash with you.
