The Village Idiot

In case you haven’t seen the recent exchange between TechCrunch and some delusional pseudo-attorney, be sure to check it out and get a hearty laugh for the day.

Basically, some photographer took a picture of Ashton Kutcher and someone linked to it in a comment left on TechCrunch. Apparently, the photographer and her little crony thought this was worthy of $150,000 settlement or else they would sue for $1.5 million! This guy who claims to be representing the photographer calls the site ‘TechCrotch’ and quickly shows that he has absolutely no idea how the internet works!

Anyway, check out the first post by Michael Arrington and the hilarious updates that followed from both sides…today there was an updated post with an apology letter from the instigator, in which he admits that he has no idea how to work the internet.

This is all really hilarious if you read through it, but I doubt it is unique…I’d be interested to see some of the crackpot threats that massive companies like Apple and Microsoft get!
