You know...I had to get up and come to work this morning...I wonder if I can sue for that.

We need a new level to the court system. Common sense court. You walk in with a case like this, and the judge looks it over. Then he looks you in the eye and tells you you're an idiot.

Wouldn't they have made more money but partnering up with Disney and selling "bulldozer bully" toys with Caterpillar written all over them?

It seems like going overboard to me. In Today's Peoria
paper Disney's response was the movie is a comical
farce. It seems obvious to me. :D
This will just cause everyone to want to buy the movie
including me.
SawInIt CA, I'll borrow a backhoe and dig the foxhole
bigger so there's room for you too!

maybe someone needs to sue Disney for all the damage done to trees by George...
All those 'George' sized imprints made into the trees must cause some serious degrade to the logs ;)

When you price something from Cat next time remember the price was a little higher to pay for this.
