So, in Geggosaurus today, we watched an awesome video about the McLibel case in England where two young revolutionary miscreants got sued for libel by McDo for having published and distributed pamphlets containing 'false' information about the multi-national corporation. Here are some of my favourite quotes.
“That's why it's the most important trial of the century.” - some British lawyerdude about the profound sinificance of the McLibel case on the world...hah
“You know the guy in the Third Reich who was the propaganda minister? I was him.” - former Ronald McDonald actor
“It's like working in a submarine or something in warfare.” - McDonald's employee on working conditions
“I think they're heroes of our time. Of course we support them.” - some lawyerperson on the two defendants' heroic quest
“There's no sex angle, unfortunately.” - one of the defendants; I'll just leave it at that to make it more amusing
“We're not going to pay the damages. McDonald's doesn't deserve a penny and, at any rate, we haven't any money.” - the other defendant after the trial was finished
They proved, like, three of the seven major allegations to be true, without hiring a lawyer or anything like that, while being put up against McDonald's multi-million-dollar team of lawyers. I think that's pretty remarkable. For more info, check out http://www.mcspotlight.org
