Freedom of speech is a blanket right, but I really don't know if a precedent should be set based on a bad and offensive joke.
Running this person through the courts is wasteful stupid and destructive. His life is pretty much ruined now and he's possibly going to go to jail for a bad joke.
to me that's stupid.
Lesson one, no movie that you make is ever going to be private the chances of it getting out to the public is more then likely.
If you make a film at a party of you smashing your junk into your unconcious buddies face, its going to get out.
Fact is that his jobs are gone, he's been humiliated in a public forum, that should be punishment enough.
I guess society is going to go towards the speech used in Demolition man, so i hope everyone has a joy joy interlude, and I hope you know how to use the sea shells.
