Scrabbdiculous

If you thought the Scrabulous-, sorry, Lexulous lawsuit was wack, just wait until you hear this:

According to MSNBC, "Mattel announced plans to release a new version of the popular word game in Britain. That version, to be unveiled in the next few months, will allow celebrity names and other proper nouns to garner points." Luckily, President Barack Obama deemed this illegal in America. The text can be found near the end of the Health Care Reform Bill.

What is and what is not allowed in Scrabble has, and should always be decided by each individual family. For example, we grew up believing; streets we've lived on and names of funny looking family friends are always fair game. How can we throw in celebrities and other proper nouns on top of that? Do we look like animals to you Milton Bradley?!

Not to mention what this will do the dictionary industry! Ruin the economy, why don't you? Who needs this large book of random words when you can get People Magazine for $3.99 at CVS? Reps from Merriam Webster responded, "no comment."

With that I will ask you to sign my petition to allow only celebrity baby names. The enemy will think this is a compromise, but will become angry when they realize they were tricked since all names of celebrities' children are nouns anyway.
