Calling an adult man a “pussy” because his agency is taking legal action is not the fearless defence of free…
OK, thanks for putting in the paragraph breaks. That helps a lot!
I can gracefully—albeit only partially—concede your first and second points "Pussy" is only partially apropos insofar as it refers to the claims of defamation, which I maintain is rightly within acceptable bounds related to the cost of celebrity. I also consider satire & slander to be acceptable costs to public figures for preserving the human right of freedom of speech (which is so much more important). And I'm OK with allowing the judicial system to determine how high the threshold of tolerance should be. They should be able to prove in court any false allegations of conduct, sexual harassment, and all the rest. I'm just saying, let the lawyers handle it. And also, IMO putting out a PR Blast about your bruised fweelings is a pussy move.
“sticks and stones” – I merely meant to suggest that it might be a better strategy to "grin & bear it" and not whine your problems publicly. (And don't dismiss wisdom because it seems childish. Check out the book, "Everything I need to know, I learned in Kindergarten.")
No. I merely think that Entertainment Agencies already have their sway in the courts to pursue their legal rights, and putting out a full-page PR campaign is a bitch move.
I get that their earnings expectations have become diminished, they want to do right by their star, and they believe that doing so will overall be more beneficial to their efforts to assuage their losses than harm from online comments from cynical critics like me. It's just not a good look. He looks weak. They look desperate. It might be better were they to simply grin & bear it.
And again, if there is any actual provable harm then let them take it to their judicial system. But their PR blitz (pun not intended) doesn't fizz (so to speak).
I'm not pained. I call 'em like I see 'em. If he feels the need to sic his attorneys after someone who wronged him by publishing false information, spreading rumors, or sexual harassment then he should simply do that. But having his agency issue a full-page statement on the PR newswire is a bitch move, IMO.
My advice would be for him to learn to brush off defamation like water off a ducks back. If he ever gets cast in another production, he's gonna have to steel himself to the inevitable snickering and mocking gossip. I think it's far simpler to cultivate personal self-confidence (IOW "grow a pair") rather than to insist that everyone else in the world must coddle his delicate sensibilities.
That is your rebuttal? It's pretty lame. You don't even share a single counter-example. I guess you still haven't worked out why you are feeling what you are feeling. Take your time and get back to us when & if you can.
Four takes: 1) What a pussy! He looks like he's gonna cry. 2) SK should have a higher bar for criticizing celebrities & public figures online than for regular people. 3) Blitzkrieg (or whatever) is abusing the legal system just to coddle their artist. Aren't there more important issues for the courts to attend to than to play Mommy to an overprotected man-child? 4) My generation/culture was inoculated with the children's rhyme, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me!"
Huh? If you are comparing PEB's character (Cheon Yeori) to the FL from My Demon, I'm gonna drop. (I'm still at…
Oh! That's her! Thanks. I will bust my gut laughing if she gets another toe-stepping couples' dance-fu fight in this drama. (That's all I care to remember from MD).
a bitch in My Demon, a bitch in Spooky in love as well
Huh? If you are comparing PEB's character (Cheon Yeori) to the FL from My Demon, I'm gonna drop. (I'm still at ep 4). That bitch did nothing to temper the evil ML's tendencies. She should have made him revisit some of his damned and given them some relief. I don't understand why more people don't absolutely despise MD. It was the worst!
So far—at least—a major character comes back from the dead by the final episode. Last season it was Jinman. I think this time it'll be Bale, but some others are hoping to see Woojin return.
They have a drone or robot for and & all types of attack haha. When he pulled out the boat robot I burst out…
It's called a torpedo. Fun fact: The very first demonstration of wireless remote-control (of any kind) was back in 1898 at Madison Square Garden when genius inventor Nicola Tesla produced a radio-guided torpedo for the US Navy. (U.S. Patent No. 613,809)
This series is notable for bringing back a character who is believed to be dead for the last episode of the season. But I'm guessing that this time it'll be Bale. Because that has symmetry with Jin Man's S1 return.
In my experience, having an experienced mountaineer kick-stepping a steep path of "stairs" in the snow ahead of you actually makes it much easier to mountain-climb, than it is to hike up in the Summertime.
The precise moment when anyone else finds out that he won the jackpot, is when his plans to continue to work & live an "uneventful life" will start to go awry. He had best keep his mouth shut and hire an excellent attorney & accountant!
