Remember the scene in "Big" when Tom Hanks makes the pitch about auotmated comic books only to realize that he is just a silly kid in a man's job with a dumb idea? Lawyers would be lucky if they got an opportunity like this once every 100 years.

I'm passing on FaceBook for now. I think I'm gonna wait 100 years for the next innovation.

"they aren't endorsements, they're a "representation" of user activity."

At least come up with a real defense. At least you won't be accused of spin if you claim that the NY law can't be applied to interstate commerce.

The ad system was a good idea, but I didn't seriously think they'd try to write it off as a social feature.
