OK, my source for this is Wikipedia, but:
"On October 2, 2006, Emerson Electric Company, an appliance market competitor of NBC's owner General Electric, filed suit in federal court against NBC. The suit was in regards to a scene that appeared in "Genesis," the pilot episode of Heroes, which depicts Claire Bennet reaching into an active garbage disposal unit—labeled "In-Sink-Erator"—to retrieve a ring, and severely injuring her hand in the process. Emerson claims the scene "casts the disposer in an unsavory light, irreparably tarnishing the product" by suggesting serious injuries will result "in the event consumers were to accidentally insert their hand into one."
Emerson is asking for a ruling barring future broadcasts of the pilot, which was previously available on NBC's Web site and has already aired on NBC Universal-owned cable networks USA Network and The Sci Fi Channel. It also seeks to block NBC from using any Emerson trademarks in the future."
wow, people are stoopid.
but not you, you're great.
and next Saturday (3 Feb) if you're in Wellington, come on down to Bar Bodega to hear the Plastic Kitchen play some new songs and some old songs (and some songs we haven't even finished writing yet, wow, that's fresh music). We're opening for Wellington's best named Pixies covers band THE PROXIES.
and if you're in auckland feeling left out - Das Ben will be coming to rock your socks off at a yet to be found venue on Sat 3 March.
