Sue Me, Asshole
The new book from Fair Use Press

This book's title is aimed at California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger 
as well as his attorney, Martin D. Singer. Recently Singer threatened 
to sue Todd Bosley, the maker of a bobble-head caricature of the 
governor, for infringing on Schwarzenegger's "publicity" rights. Yes, 
you read that right: Singer and Schwarzenegger feel that the California 
governor is the first politician in history to be immune from 
caricature.

Additionally, Martin Singer even claims a copyright on the letter he 
sent to Bosley. In other words, not only is it forbidden to criticize 
the governor via caricature, but also one is not even allowed to expose 
the vicious tone of the threat letters Governor Schwarzenegger employs 
to enforce that moratorium.

In his letter, Singer claims that Bosley's creation of the bobble-head 
doll is "outrageous" and "malicious." Well, we here at Fair Use Press 
think that Singer needs to learn what outrageous really is. In 
accordance with our mission to "ridicule, shame and attack those who 
attempt to subvert the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution," we 
viciously offer our second book: Sue Me, Asshole. In addition to an 
appropriately shaming picture of Arnold on the cover, it contains all 
three pages of Singer's copyright-protected threat letter.

Please buy a copy of this humiliating mini e-book (all net proceeds 
will go toward further advertisement). Print it out and display it 
proudly on your coffee table. Pass it around via email. Put it on your 
blog. Make Martin Singer's tactics explode in his red face. And help 
expose Arnold Schwarzenegger for what he really is: A big bully with a 
tiny, little penis.
