Exactly. A woman wrote a play called Raygun the Musical. This would’ve been the perfect opportunity to have a laugh at herself and everyone would’ve loved her for it. Instead she sued her.
It gets worse - the proceeds of the musical were going to be donated to charities. It was shut down and they got nothing.
Dancing schools, I hope.
Breakdancing School For Kids That Can't Dance Good
They only managed to build a breakdance school for ants
I understand this reference.
And for Kids Who Want to Do Other Dances Good, Too
Lol, however I believe it was for domestic violence
They managed to work the lawsuit into the remake, called Breaking: The Musical.
It got Streisand-ed and a lot more attention because of Raygun
I mean if it's about Raygun then she should have received a cut
That's true, but she didn't sue for royalties, she shut the thing down so it couldn't play at all
If it's any consolation, seeing a yank use "tosser" in the wild has made my face happy.
Britishisms are more common in the US nowadays in my experience, because of your shows and movies getting broadcast here I think. And youtubers too definitely. I am into it personally. British expressions are hilarious to me haha
I blame the popularity of BBC programs on public television. I use "bloody hell" all the time after years of watching Doctor Who and Masterpiece Theater.
My 2 best friends in college were English and Australian. Tosser and cunt are forever a part of my lexicon that I can’t/don’t want to get rid of 😂
I didn't know Americans say 'tosser'?
It was still in the middle of ongoing hate, threats and misinfornation-fueled personal and professional sabotage being directed at Raygun and people associated with her, and Broadbridge developed the show (to capitalise on the public outrage and mockery) without ever reaching out to her, further damaging Gunn's personal and professional relationships in the process. A sternly worded "um, wtf?" was pretty warranted.
No-one was ever taken to court, and no-one paid Gunn any money. The issue was resolved between Broadbridge and Gunn with the show's release only slightly delayed. Gunn didn't have any way of knowing the show had pledged about $500 of ticket sales to charity at the time, because again - Broadbridge hadn't sought to involve her at any point.
Or cut a deal for using her name. She could’ve got commercial deals really
