Hangover, Part 2
In April 2011, a lawsuit was filed by a tattoo artist Victor Whitmill against the Warner Bros for a film called ‘The Hangover Part 2’ for the copyright infringement. As per the movie, Stu (Ed Helms) wakes up in a hotel in Bangkok after a night of debauchery with a face tattoo exactly similar to Mike Tyson’s face tattoo. Whitmill claimed this as a copyrighted work as that tattoo design was specifically designed for Mike and that Warner Bros had no right to put his work in the film. If both parties wouldn’t come to any agreement then the face tattoo would have been digitally deleted from Stu’s face and this would affect the launch of the movie. Finally, Warner Bros. settled the case of Whitmill’s for an undisclosed claim sum. (Rudie Obias, 2013)

    Professional Police Organization Case Study

    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) brought suit against Red Robin Gourmet Burgers in August of 2005. The EEOC stated Red Robin had refused to offer their employee, Edward Rangel, a server at the restaurant, with any accommodations to freely express his Egyptian faith by exposing tattoos of ‘Ra’ the Egyptian sun god (Garnett, 2010). However, studies from Hazen and Syrdahl (2010) indicate that “all tattoos are not created equal in the eyes of the courts” (p. 2). Secular tattoos may be accommodated under Title VII; however, if an employee’s tattoo is considered offensive or construes sexual harassment or racist symbols, then the employer has every right to require the worker to conceal his or her tattoos. An illustration of “all tattoos are not created equal in the eyes of the courts”, could be found in the case of Swartzentruber v. Gunite Corporation. Gunite is a manufacturing company that produces truck wheels, brake drums, and rotors. Mr. Swartzentruber is an employee at Gunite Corp. and publicly displays a tattoo of a hooded figure standing in front of a burning cross on his forearm. By exposing this particular tattoo at his place of employment, Mr. Swartzentruber had offended all of his black co-workers. All of the black employees at Gunite Corp stated they felt harassed and find the image of a burning cross on Swartzentruber’s arm very offensive. Swartzentruber’s supervisors…

    Tattoos In David Kirby's Inked Well

    Based on the passage, “there are primarily two types of tattoo narratives, the Record Book and the Canvas” (695). “The point of all of this is self expression- and we seem to be living in a time where that’s what nearly everybody (word carefully chosen) wants to do, in one way or another”(696). It demonstrates possible preferences that the person gets more tattoos later on. Also, Kirby includes a partial amount of evidence using Jodie and Melissa as an example which is not concrete evidence. However, people have used tattoos as artwork that can illustrate into different meanings with a unique perspective and conveys a story behind each one even if it has the most minimal…

    Popcorn Hangover

    Popcorn hangover is defined as the exhaustion you receive from watching too many shows are movies in a single day or time frame. Popcorn hangover results in irritation of the eyes from watching the TV long periods of time. Today’s society has put the problems of the world on to much TV time for the kids and not enough play time outside. I would in most cases agree with this but after reading the assignment really is it a problem. How many kids stay out of trouble just because there in front TV all the time. Today we have a group of children that learn in many different ways; some must see, some must do and some just need to hear to learn. Today’s movies we can all agree can teach us different things, some good some bad. We can learn a lot about different cultures by watching TV and movies. The popcorn hangover helps you balance out TV time and forces you to allow physical time away from the TV. I personally have experienced Popcorn hangover many times. The last time I had this experience was recently I decided to watch a weekend marathon of walking dead. I started on Friday night around 7pm and finished up Sunday night at 10pm. All three days my eyes burnt and were blood shot red and felt extremely exhausted. The following Monday I had to take a personal day due to me feeling so sleepy the next morning, the lack of sleep made me feel nauseated and sick . Over the years I have done many marathons and movies and even though I know how I feel with the Popcorn hangover I continue to do it again and again.…

    Binge Drinking In College

    Binge drinking in college is a controversial issue that has impassioned many to write. Henry Wechsler, Froma Harrop, Kathryn Stewart, Corina Sole, and James C. Carter are several writers that have shared their opinions with the public, in hopes to influence society. Although these writers have expressed their concern on this matter, each has a distinct perspective upon the issue. At one end of the spectrum lies Wechsler’s article which was inspired by an unfortunate event – the death of an MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) freshman who died of alcohol poisoning. He claims that colleges are not acknowledging the seriousness of the situation, which should, since college students are ever so “incapable” of controlling their obnoxious…

    Discrimination of Tattoos

    Tattoos are very popular in today’s society. At least about every five minutes walking around town or the beach an individual can be seen with a tattoo. Tattoos are a permanent way of showing one’s art. This art is a problem for businesses because they consider this unprofessional. If the art is decent and not unacceptable, the person shouldn’t be discriminated against because the individual could be a very smart and reliable person. A worker who wanted to display a Ku Klux Klan tattoo--which would have violated his employer 's racial harassment policy--and, in an effort to do so, made an unsuccessful claim of religious discrimination (Religion in the Workplace). People shouldn’t get tattoos of racial discrimination, gangs, or art that’s immature. These tattoos should never be allowed for any job hiring, because it’s disrespectful. People who have art that’s stunning or unique shouldn’t be denied from getting the job. People may use this art on their body to become a model for tattooing. Some like to express their art to others and stand out from people. Tattoos can also serve as a new fashion trend. According to the schools across the U.S., tattoos are listed as a banned fashion accessory under their dress code (Students, Education…

    Diary Of A Drunk Woman

    Diary of a Madman, published in 1918, was written by Lu Xun, pen name of Zhou Shuren, who was considered the most important Chinese Modernist writer. The Daydreams of a Drunk Woman, was published in 1960 with a collection of other short stories called Family Ties, written by Clarice Lispector, who went to law-school, and worked as a journalist before becoming a full-time writer. Both of these writers portray a rather dark story, one that focuses on a central character who’s view on the society around them is one where they seem to be the victim, and everyone seems to be out to get them. While Lispector uses heterodiegetic and Xun use autodiegetic narration as the base for their stories, they both share a focus on an individual character, but…

    After three years on the job, Attired mentioned her interest in getting a tattoo to a fellow waitress. The waitress warned Attired that if she was going to get a tattoo to make sure that it was somewhere where it would not be visible. This particular waitress had been working at Biddy’s for ten years and knew that if Attired got a tattoo the owner, Biddy Baker, would be upset.

Some patrons requested to be moved from Attired’s seating section because they commented that they did not want to look at “that” while they were eating.
