Thanks to the EFF, "Barney Bashing" is legitimized.

As a parent --- a parent who finds the purple dinousaur and his over-affection towards children "creepy", I was happy to read that lawyers for Barney not only lost their battle to have satire, parody "Barney-Sucks" type of content removed from sites -- but (the Lawyers for "Barney") had to pay $5,000.00 to a site owner for harrasing him..

Ooo... Does this make it on topic to post one of my favorite quotes again?

From Al Franken, after a judge threw out the case Fox News had filed against him: "In America, parody is protected free speech, even if the object of the parody doesn't 'get it'."

And one of mine:

"The worst fate for an insult: to not be understood".
