Friends, with Joey as a serial rapist?

Friends, with Joey as a serial rapist? 05/05/2004 06:27 PM

T he One where the Writers Totally Got Themselves Uninvited from Any Parties at Courtney Cox or Jennifer Aniston's House. In the midst of all the dry-as-kindling "Friends" stories being published, there's been one spark: Amaani Lyle's sexual harassment suit against the show's writers. While it's easy to be distracted by the actual meat of her complaint — making Joey a serial rapist (#74), a fill-in-the-genitals coloring book (#56-#58), the importance of spelling "penis" (#59-#60), the twigs in Courtney Cox's uterus (#91), a missed opportunity to bugger Jennifer Aniston (#88-#90) — their defense is even more interesting: Such talk is a necessary creative element of their job. W rites Joanna Grossman: The defendants admitted that many of Lyle's allegations were true. They testified in deposition that they did many of the things she complained of, but argued that the conduct was justified by "creative necessity." The writers' job, defendants argued, was to come up with story lines, dialogue, and jokes for a sitcom with adult sexual themes. To do this, they needed to have "frank sexual discussions and tell colorful jokes and stories (and even make expressive gestures) as part of the creative process." An interesting new permutation in how we classify inappropriate workplace behavior with major ramifications for the creative class, or a big ol' weaselly dodge?

Ah - this explains why Joey hasn't
finished up OUR deal yet
12/17/2004 06:28 PM

I've never met Ross Rader - or Joey DeVilla - yet we've been 'negotiating' with them - for months on a deal - which may just happen soo enough. I love to hang with their boss Elliot Noss - but it's the workers in the trenches that matter most.

So NOW I understand why it's taking so long..... (and I get to see what Ross looks like.)

The "Boss Ross" wallpaper isn't available...yet!

The company where I work -- Tucows -- has launched a "Mobile Phone
Content Library". Simply put, it's a place where you can download
ringtones, wallpapers and games for your mobile phone.


 

 


Here's the text of the official press release:


 


TORONTO, CANADA, 15 December, 2004 -- Tucows Inc. (OTCBB:TCOW), today announced the launch of a new content library for mobile phones at www.mobile.tucows.com.  The company is working with Mediaplazza, part of the Jet Multimedia Group.  Mediaplazza provides a leading platform with mobile content, such as ring tones, cell phone games and wallpaper.

"We are very excited about the launch of our second new library this year," said Elliot Noss,
President and CEO Tucows Inc.  "Our download customers rely on
Tucows to be their best source of specialty and leading edge tools for
their computing and personal devices and this library will service the
exploding market for mobile content."

"Tucows is a great client to have. They have a unique relationship with
Internet Service Providers around the world.  This new agreement
will increase the availability of our tools to cell phone users
worldwide," commented Marc-Antoine Ross, Country Manager of MediaPlazza North America.

Tucows chose to work with Mediaplazza because they have developed
partnerships with large companies and their platform is connected to
more than 122 telecom operators.

"We are pleased to have Mediaplazza's mobile phone tools distributed
via the Tucows website. They have a powerful international web presence
and we at MediaPlazza like to consider ourselves citizens of the
world," said Eric Gautier, Owner of MediaPlazza, part of the Jet
Multimedia Group.

joeymanicdesk.jpg imageAs much as plea for help finding one as a post describing it, Funfurde writes about their little version of SoHo heaven: the Joey Maniac Virtual Office desk. It's a sad story, too, as the peculiar little loopy contraption was a victim of its own success after the desk proved so popular Joey Maniac had to outsource the construction, which ended up being too expensive for such a complex design. If you have one that you'd like to get rid of, it sounds like you have a rabid buyer to extort in Funfurde.
