Who's Suing Me Today?
A number of people have tried to sue me over some of the things written in 'The Yoke of the Horde.' Seeing as how the novel is so suppressed, I have a hard time understanding how they found out about it. Could it be that our good friends at Corchester, Button, and Finkle have been writing to people and asking them to sue me as part of their on going campaign to silence me, to make me bow down before them and say they are right and I am wrong? Most likely.
The latest lawsuit came from the people who make Beanie Babies. According to them, my portrayal of the character Flora Giordano "intentially sought to harm the image of the average Beanie Baby collector." First off, the Flora Giordano collects Beanie Tots, not Beanie Babies. Big difference. Secondly, how many Beanie Baby collectors are going to read TYOTH anyways? And if they did read it, would they necessarily make the connection that the Beanie Baby company says they would? I doubt it. And one more thing, even though I didn't spend much time in the book describing what a Beanie Tot looks like, I can assure you that they are much cooler than Beanie Babies, to the point where comparison isn't really important, but if comparison is what you want, note that Beanie Tots, unlike Beanie Babies, have lifelike eyes with retractable eyelids, so that when you tilt them back their eyes close, much like the dolls of yore. Also, when squeezed, a Beanie Tot will make a sound, like a growl or a meow or something. This is something that Beanie Babies don't have, and if they even think of stealing my idea they'll get hit with a Mack Truck of a lawsuit.
