    So it's based on the honour system to pay. Good luck with that!

    Just when you start thinking things couldn't get more retarded, they do.

    Lars needs another swimming pool and agrees with this new initiative to soak the consumer of a few more pennies:

    The whole thing is kind of silly, but this part

    For weddings, receptions, conventions, assemblies and fashion shows, the fee is $9.25 per day if fewer than 100 people are present and goes up to $39.33 for crowds of more than 500 people. If there's dancing, the fees double.



    is the sillest. What possible justification is there for doubling the fee if there's dancing?

    And if it's all white people at the wedding does it really count as "dancing"?

    Seriously, are these fuckers high on bath salts or something? What next, if I start grooving on my iTunes in public are they gonna charge me double for the music I downloaded simply for moving to the beat?

    Do you have to file a play list too, so that the money actually goes to the artist? OH WAIT!!! It said "RECORD LABEL" too. The one who owns the copyright to the song anyway.
