‘Critics wanted us to be a one-hit-wonder’: back in Barbie world with Aqua https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/07/one-hit-wonder-barbie-world-with-aqua?CMP=share_btn_tw “The song Barbie Girl is a social comment and was not created or approved by the makers of the doll,” stated the CD booklet, but it was subject to a lawsuit from Mattel, who sued over the song’s lyrics (“I’m a blonde bimbo girl in a fantasy world” and “kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky” wasn’t exactly the stuff of brand partnerships). A court eventually ruled in the band’s favour asserting the song was protected as a parody and by 2008 Mattel was using a family-friendly version for its own Barbie commercial. #copyright #trademark #music #parody

After French police attacked protesters for protesting the street execution of a teen-ager of Algerian descent, new protests against police violence have been announced. The police have forbidden these protests.

Protest organiser Binem Pört responded to the police announcement with, "No problem. You can just shoot us. Find someone else to live in your racist country. Oh, but I forget."

The Federal government is considering ground-breaking legislation making predatory lending illegal. Housing rights activists have applauded the move.

The bill's main sponsor, Senator Ben Coyflich, said in a press announcement, "In the future, anyone caught accepting a predatory loan faces two years in prison. That means that a person who has lost his home due to unregulated banking practices will get housing in a federal penitentiary, which shall also bring much needed economic support to the growing number of towns and communities dependent on the prison industry. Everyone is a winner."

When asked whether this is not the same logic of the so-called 'war on drugs,' Coyflich replied, "Yes, exactly. If there is anything that federal drug policy has taught us over the past 50 years, the best way to regulate at the highest level is to eradicate at the lowest."
