Mike walked into a post office just before Valentine's Day, and he couldn't help noticing a middle aged man standing in a corner sticking " Love " stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. Then the man got out a bottle of Chanel perfume from his pocket and started spraying the scent over the envelopes.
By now, Mike's curiosity had got the better of him, and so he asked the man why he was sending all those cards. The man replied, " I'm sending out 500 Valentine cards signed, " Guess Who? "
" But why? " asked Mike.
" I'm a divorce lawyer, " the man replied.

Newspaper not liable for comment by website user
This is an interesting decision about defamation in the age of new technology. The Newspaper was held not to be liable for comments made on the comments section of it's website, even if they maintain some editorial control.
Also, an article calling someone a "birther" and therefore a "racist" is not actionable, as it is merely the opinion of the writer.

Bengals Cheerleader Lawsuit
www.cbsnews.com
A Kentucky High School teacher and Bengals cheerleader is suing the operator of a gossip site for defamation caused by nasty and false public comments about her on the website. Lawyer for the web site owner defends, saying that it is not responsible for the comments made by other people.
Although this was a particularly nasty set of circumstances, I just wonder how far the application would go if the website operator is held liable. After all, I look at the web sites of Louisville news outlets, and I find that the public comments following the news items are routinely uninformed, often mean-spirited, and injurious to the subjects of the news items. Would the CJ or any of the news stations around here be held to the same legal obligations as trashy gossip websites? I'm specifically thinking about "The Rant" on WHAS 11. That is a feature that encourages cranky comments from the public on local news stories. Since WHAS is encouraging this type of comment, will it be more responsible for the things that are said?
