People also have the capacity to NOT be shitnecks. The question for me is, how do we encourage them to tap into this not-being-a-shitneck power?

I think this is the question that most large scale (City State-wide and up) systematic ideologies have been attempting to address since the very dawn of civilisation.

Most of it comes down to a mix of Carrot and Stick with a bit of woo. It has of course been tremendously successful.

Hells yes.  This is AMERICA™.  We can sue anyone for anything.

How I wish I was one of you.

You need a fuckload of money to get any benefit out of AMERICATM. It wouldn't work for us.

Fuck Goldieblox. It's an AD, not a parody.

Dickweeds pretending to be good guys by "empowering girls" (for money, of course) are the same as dickweeds pretending to be good guys by "preaching God's word".

This is just a variation of IT'S FOR TEH CHILLERIN.

Beastie Boys known to let the lawsuit...

If that happens, fuck them too.

Can this set a precedent for politicians to use songs by people who hate them? Like when Reagan used Born in the USA and Sarah Palin used Barracuda?

LMNO

Nope.  In those cases, it's perfectly legal to use, so long as they pay ASCAP/BMI.

Fuck them for what? So far  the only thing they've done is write two letters to Goldiblox, the first one saying "So hey, what's up with you using our song?" and the second one saying "Are you seriously suing us for asking what's up with you using our song?"
