Gore Loses Again, Supreme Court Awards Internet to Scoble
In a narrow 5-4 Supreme Court decision, ownership of the internet passed from former Vice President Al Gore to Robert Scoble, the blogger extraordinaire of Scobleizer.
One member of the small group of wonks and geeks which filed the suit in Scoble’s behalf declared, “This will change the digital landscape forever. Gore has a terrestrial paradigm while Robert has never been well grounded; he’s a child of the blogosphere.” Attempts to understand what he meant were unsuccessful.
Al Gore, inventor of the internet, did not respond to text messages. This is the second time the Court has dealt a cruel loss to the global warming champion. In 2000, America’s highest court awarded the Presidency to George W Bush over Gore.
Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said of the recent internet ruling, “Al has really blown it this time.”
The decision was based on the concept of adverse possession, better known as squatters’ rights. The Justices looked at precedents in both common and Louisiana law. The owner has to abandon the property, the squatter needs to continuously use the vacated domain and the squatter’s activities have to be both legal and hostile.
The abandonment clock began ticking on Gore after the Court’s 2000 ruling. He dropped out of sight. The former Vice President later resurfaced with boring PowerPoint presentations and home movies. Despite the tedium, Gore managed to scare people to death and win the Nobel Peace Prize.
The door was open and Robert Scoble walked through. He incessantly posted to his blog. Well within his legal rights, Scoble filled his weblog with jargon only a few could understand. The case then turned on the issue of squatter hostility. The Court found his lustful use of first person pronouns (I, me, my, mine) technically legal but extremely annoying. The decision was made for Scoble.
VP Gore has disappeared again and rumored to be growing a beard.
Note: Ripped from the headlines and totally made-up.
