Mad Woman Takes Herself Seriously, Acts Like Weiner, Sues Mad Men

Gita Hall May is not familiar with Ghita or the G:TB mission statement. Proof? She sued Lions Gate Entertainment because the opening credits to "Mad Men" feature an picture of her from a Revlon ad used in the 1950s. The image appears at about the 23 second mark.



Here's the complaint. After noting that Mad Men has made "billions" (emphasis in original) Ms. Hall alleges that the opening credits "were and are integral to the success of Mad Men ...." At that point I stopped reading.

  1. At least twice a week people stop me on the street and ask for my autograph thinking I'm Jon Hamm. We're practically twins. Maybe I should sue him for using my likeness to make money.

  2. ate the shit out of some food truck pho for lunch. gastrointestinal issues should roughly coincide with the pending inclement weather. a snowstorm shitstorm, if you will.

  4. Pho is the best. Was completely unaware of its existence prior to dating the woman who I now call my wife. She's not all bad.

  9. It is phoking coming down here in Chi-town. No idea how my flight got thru. Drinks w/ FOGTB DB and dinner await.

  15. from the 'this is not a joke' file: i have a management training session tomorrow. one of the questions i'm required to have answered in advance of the session is: 'what household appliance best describes you as a leader'?

    trying to choose between 'vibrator' and 'panini press'.

  16. Is it any household appliance, or just one that you actually own?

  18. Why should I care about anything Seth Greenberg has to say?

  19. Funny. I'm not surprised that you have a vibrator but the panini press raised an eyebrow.
