Some Random Friday Fun
Mainly we’re posting this because it’s a Friday afternoon and rainy (at least here in New York). We figure you need some entertainment to launch you into the weekend.
But there is a legal angle to this music video. It might have spawned intellectual property litigation, if Disney — and Miley Cyrus — didn’t have such a good sense of humor. Enjoy!
(If you like, feel free to discuss “fair use” issues in the music video context in the comments.)

What the fuck?
lat, youre frickin gay
Miley Cyrus is going to grow up to be Kash, only Kash's voice isn't quite as grating as Miley's.
On Monday I come into work and catch Lat watching this video while suspiciously rubbing up against the arm of his chair. I remember this. It was awkwad moment that begat some bad feelings between Lat and I, that I feel evetually led to my firing years later.
This video is like porn to Lat.
Re-hire me, Lat, you cold bastard!
Saw this on Gothamist 2 days ago...Wasn't particularly entertaining then either.
I'm disturbed. Highly, highly disturbed.
Miley Cyrus? Seriously?
You know what would be amusing? The same guys doing similar choreography to a Pantera song. That would be amusing.
This was just disturbing.
I am Future Ellie is hilarious, but racist.
Would this video qualify as "fair use" or does it use too much of the underlying song?
Hmmm
1-fairly funny/cute video
2-unlike when Lat says every guy who doesn't have down-syndrome is attractive, these guys actually ARE attractive
3-While I see the humor, and Fridays are supposed to be fun, if i could get serious for a moment: me thinks Lat needs to get laid (as a fellow gay, i'll offer this advice:
a) you live in NYC, go to a gay bar,
b) manhunt.net,
c) hell, i've been known to "hookup" now and then, so bring your rear over here :-p
and yes Lat, I'm hot (real hot, not like you use hot)
jaKe Emeritus is hilarious. No "but."
This is a "fair use" music video:

Is it a parody of the Miley Cyrus video?
and yes Lat, I'm hot (real hot, not like you use hot)

Lawyer=not hot
Any chance on getting a post on Fish & Richardson closing down its Austin office?
My boss caught me watching this. Like I need an excuse to get FIRED! Oh, and I had my hands down my pants.
13,
Yea I am. Lawyers CAN be hot, they just usually aren't because they're either 1) overweight, 2) not tan, 3) dorks or 4) psychotic. But I'm none of those. Imagine legally blonde only in the male form. Also imagine legally blonde towards the end of the movie when she's top of her class and smart, not the beginning when she's clueless and unaware.
Besides, I'm not "technically" a lawyer yet since I have taken the NY bar, but don't know whether i've passed it yet and, in any event, definitely haven't been sworn in yet :-p

Lat-
After reading your recent posts with gay content/themes I have started to cruise the Craigslist M4M section and hook up during work hours. Do you get credit for converting me?

Lady Soto/Partner Emeritus/JaKe Emeritus = LAME, LAME FAIL!!!!!!!
Future Ellie = pure genius. Great job.
17, because you're hot.
20, you're an idiot. The Emeritus shtick is the most piercing wit I've seen on this forum. Stan and JaKe have breathed new life into an already prosperous endeavor. If you don't find it funny, you lake a brain.

The most eloquent member of the Emeritus clan on this board is Sparky.
Ruff.

"Lat, don't flatter yourself. I'm not a marrying man."
Lat. I'm gay. And this is too gay for me.
I'm staring out my window in Santa Monica and watching the beautiful blue water ripple and shimmer in the sunlight on a gorgeous, clear day. It's a hair over 80 right now, with a weekend forecast of 70s/80s and sunny.
Take that, east coast.
23/25 - suck my balls.
It's "prop up Elie" month at ATL.
The least intelligent commenters should insult Elie as much as possible, making his detractors seem like morons.
Karen should describe linked items in a way that makes clear that she hasn't read them.
And Lat should break from his usual good writing and just post gay soft porn as much as possible.
Elie, do you appreciate the brilliance of Future Elie?
Why is every post on this blog about race or homosexuality?
29:
What about 22?

Who the hell is Karen?
I found this same video on Souter's old computer. I'm having the hard drive erased.
@28 -- I'm looking at the same view. Unfortunately, the four raging wildfires have made the air pretty brown if you look in the other direction.
28 - Sorry you didn't get into any NY firms. :-/
Future Elie = genius
35 = the only really good Lady Soto post so far. Yay!
i loved this!
Its official. Elie > Lat
And not b/c Elie distinguished himself in anyway.
~40
Except, of course, with his hilarious post on accepting two+ offers today. Comedic gold, especially considering the commenters' responses.
~41
28/36 I too have the same view. But what are you still doing in the office? It's 5:00 on a Friday, the partners have already left the building. It's not like you actually have work to do (unlike me).
I have to go download some porn just to get the gay off me.
WTF - I wouldn't know a Miley Cyrus song if the chick herself were singing in my ear. Jesus H. Christ.

The guy who made this video is named Fudge. Seriously.
I love you Lat. Only here can I get my gossip for work and see some of my own having fun on the weekends.
