RUSH THE BAND TO RUSH THE DICKMOUTH: “WANNA GET SUED, DUDE?”
It’s logical for professional sack of shit/radio ranter Rush Limbaugh to think that sex is gross and shameful: Each of his four sexual experiences must’ve been a real horror show, what with all the flab and feces and corpsestink. So yeah, we can see why he’d slam law student/activist Sandra Fluke, who argued before a House oversight committee in favor of measures that ensure universal access to contraceptives. Limbaugh, reacting to Fluke’s figures that set her birth control costs over three years at $3,000, publicly branded her a “slut” and “prostitute” on his political blab show for assholes.
See, if Fluke had her way, federal law would require insurance providers — businesses, taxpayer-funded organizations, churches, Limbaugh himself!! — to cover rubbers, the pill, and that foam stuff for each of its employees. Holy shit! This would decrease the number of unwanted pregnancies and STDs, and cost high-earners like Limbaugh dozens of hamburgers each year.
Limbaugh went on to use his Oxy-reasoning to conclude that users of publicly-funded contraception should be required to post video of their hot sexual congress on the internet for all to see. In short, if his insurance costs go up, he wants some amateur porn in return.
But fairness doesn’t apply to Limbaugh, cuz the fuck-knob illegally used music by Peter Gabriel and the band Rush to soundtrack his dickhead rant. And Rush isn’t having it.
From the band’s cease and desist letter:
The use of Rush’s music in this way is an infringement of Rush’s copyrights and trademarks. The public performance of Rush’s music is not licensed for political purposes and any such use is in breach of public performance licences and constitutes copyright infringement. There are civil and criminal remedies for copyright infringement, including statutory damages and fees.
I like that last part: “Do it again and it will cost you money, stud.” This action by Rush, along with the 36-and-counting advertisers who’ve bailed on Limbaugh’s limpdick talk show, is evidence of the good health U.S. society sometimes displays. It’s the “Act like an asshole/Get fucked like one” principle. Glad to see our people brandishing their massive boner! Um, so to speak.
