Happy Fourth of July, everyone. I would say, "Happy Independence Day", but I know that the internet isn't just comprised of Americans, and that is pretty rude to say to a British person. "Hey, old chap. Remember all those years ago when you tried to keep control of us and we kicked your ass? Then we had the audacity to go and form an entire other country? Remember that? Happy Independence Day!" So, I will just wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July. Also, a Very Merry Unbirthday. To the few of you that actually have your birthdays on July Fourth, I'm not wishing anything for you. You already get fireworks for your birthdays. Get over yourselves. Hello Do you have pirate cd's of Pink Floyd????? Esteban Ocejo I don't think that Pink Floyd ever recorded any pirate songs. I really can't picture Dave Gilmour with an eyepatch and a pegleg singing "Blow the man down." However, if I ever come across such a CD, you will be the first person I notify. Wait a second. Maybe I misunderstood at first. Are you actually asking if I have any illegally reproduced compact disc recordings from the band Pink Floyd? Esteban Ocejo, I am appalled. Shame on you. Besides being against the law, illegally reproducing copyrighted material is just plain wrong. Artists work very hard to bring you their products, and it is robbery to keep from them the payment for the enjoyment of their work. I'll bet you used an unregistered shareware mail program to write that email, eh? I bet you use a lot of everyday things and don't pay for them. Why stop there? Why not hop the turnstiles? Take fruit from sidewalk stands! In fact, you could just go right up to some old woman on the street, knock her down, and take her pocketbook. Sure, I'm going overboard. It's a matter of magnitude. Still, artists deserve to be paid for every CD they sell. They spend years in seedy motels, or sleeping in their cars, going from low paying gig to low paying gig. Finally, after years of working for it, they get their big break. They deserve to reap the rewards without some snot-nosed kid robbing them of their due. What is that you say? CDs are too expensive? Well, think about why they are expensive. They probably wouldn't be nearly as expensive as they are if all the fans actually bought them. Then the volume would be higher, and prices wouldn't have to be as high to cover the costs. But no, people like you expect handouts. Then fewer people go to the stores, and the stores are forced to charge the good, hardworking, honest citizens an arm and a leg. All because of you. Do you see the havoc you have caused? You are a very selfish person, Esteban Ocejo. I think you should take some time to reflect on society, and your place in it. |

Born and raised in NYC, LadyJ developed a quick wit and an acid tongue to entertain her friends, and cut down those foolish enough to oppose her. This abrasiveness earned her a reputation as a heartless bitch in some circles, but those closest to her still believe she has a great capacity for understanding and caring, and a talent for advice. On this website, LadyJ offers herself both to help those who ask her advice, and to entertain those who find her humorous. Those who fall into neither category are leftovers, and we all know that no one likes leftovers. So, if you have a problem that you need help with, and the courage to accept her advice...
Special thanks to The Geckoplex for its help in launching and promoting the advice of LadyJ. |
