O.J. Simpson Is Ordered to Pay DirecTV in Signal-Theft Case
By Sallie Hofmeister
Times Staff Writer
Published July 27, 2005
DirecTV said "the evidence was overwhelming" against O.J. Simpson.
But the ex-football star's lawyer said he did nothing wrong.
The satellite TV giant on Tuesday was referring to its civil court victory in which a Florida judge ordered Simpson to pay $25,000 for allegedly stealing its signals.
The case stems from the recovery in 2001 of two "bootloaders" in Simpson's home that allowed viewers to tap into DirecTV signals without paying for them.
"This ruling serves as a reminder that there are consequences to signal theft, whether you're O.J. Simpson or John Q. Public," said Dan Fawcett, the company's executive vice president of legal and business affairs.
Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, said his client would appeal the judge's ruling. ¶ 5:12 PM

If your dog happens to be as smart as the lucky buyer mentioned above, then all you have to do is stick the dog, some food and water, and this machine in the backyard, and you'll never have to see your dog again...except when you go out once a month to shovel the dog poop... ¶ 9:04 PM

Play office at the office...
How useful can something get? Far more than this. What we have here is a play office cubicle for those who are either bored or have a morbid sense of humor. Here's how the website describes this practical toy:
"Finally, the drudgery of corporate life has been captured in a play set for adults! Bob, Joe, Ted, and Ann spend eight hours a day, five days a week, at tiny desks in tiny cubicles in a giant room packed with countless similar cubicles in a giant building filled with countless similar rooms. Each set has one 2-3/4" posable plastic figure and all the necessary plastic parts to build a classic corporate cube: four walls, desk, chair, file cabinet, in/out box, phone, and computer. Comes with a sticker sheet of decor for your cube, complete with graphs, charts, screens for the computer and pithy office posters. Also includes a job title sticker sheet so you can create a convoluted and meaningless position for your employee."

"Does your dog have stand-up ears? Not to worry.....'The Helmet' was designed so that it does not rest flat on the head. The customizable foam pads that are included fit between the ears, not over them. This prevents 'The Helmet' from pushing the ears flat to the head. The dual adjustable chin strap lets you custom fit 'The Helmet' for almost any pet dog, cat or guinea pig."

This is for real. It's a collar studded with "mood stones" so that you can tell what mood your dog is in. Maybe it's just me, but won't this also tell you that the owner is a moron?
