LAWYERBOTS: TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!
According to Arlington County District Court, the Michael Bay adolescent action-packed orgasm Transformers is worth $30,672. Precisely how they derived this figure I’m not certain, but they’ve just ruled that one Jhannet Sejas, a 19 year old college sophomore, must pay for the unthinkably heinous crime of wanting to do, for free, what advertising and marketing firms get paid obscene amounts of cash to do: promote a movie. On the eve of her 19th birthday, Sejas and her boyfriend were taking in the giant robot free-for-all at a local theater. Sejas loved the movie, and thought that seeing a few seconds of the action might convince her heretofore recalcitrant younger brother into paying full price. So she whipped out her pocket-sized Cannon PowerShot, engaged the video mode, and filmed 20 seconds of one particularly brutal battle, the better to whet the little bugger’s appetite for mechanized destruction.
Before the movie ended, she was under arrest. That 20-second clip cost her a $71 court-ordered fine, the birthday photos in her PowerShot, the right to ever set foot in that movie theater again, and a clean police record.
