Man arrested for keeping an 86-inch flat-screen TV that was mailed to his home by mistake....
The shipping company claims that Memmo signed for the incorrect delivery, which Memmo disputes. He also said that he never informed them he was someone he is not. According to Freetown Police Department, they were informed by the delivery service that two televisions had been delivered and one was delivered by mistake. “The delivery service contacted police after several unsuccessful attempts to recover the television. Police then visited the residence where they spoke with the male in an effort to recover the television. Unfortunately, he refused to cooperate,” the FPD said.



Memmo is now facing jail time. He says if he knew he would be arrested, he would have paid for the larger TV or returned it.

memo to Memmo: get a lawyer. And in the future, it should be impossible to quote you saying anything, as it should have been in the past. And quit stealing TVs.
The Dice, the cards, they not only have no sense of justice but are seemingly endowed with a sense of cruel irony. This devolves from the 'nature of random'. Ironically, don't you see.

The Disney-Fox deal finalized the other day.

Now they own The Simpsons and like every Marvel character except Spider-Man.

I think now they also own the complete rights to the original Star Wars?? Or distribution rights, or something... I just know there was something weird about Fox owning certain rights on A New Hope but none of the other movies.

Correct - Disney finally owns the X-Men and Fantastic Four.

They’re going to reboot both series and they can finally join in for future Avengers movies.

Wel xmen needs a reboot

Last few episodes characters were doing their own internal reboot (hey lets go back and change time so the last 5 movies never happened)

Followed by (we have to save the changes made to the original characters because the time reboot we did makes no thematical sense)

To the last film (wait, what reboot? Where are we? Post apocalypse?)

Yeah Xmen needs a studio reboot

Lol, and one of the first topics is Disney, and I've already got my anti-trust rant locked and loaded XD

Is this the left wing circle jerk to somehow balance out the one our righteous brethren have been engaging in?
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Yes, it is all things Disney, comic books, and Fantasy land. Have fun.

Current Events are current events whether they make you feel happy and sheltered or not. Don't really see the need for 2 threads on the same topic. But if others feel the need for a safe censored space, so be it.
