This is kind of amazing: some kid is suing World of Warcraft, partially, he claims, because it has contributed to his sense of alienation, and he has subpoenaed one of the dudes from Depeche Mode, “since he himself has been known to be sad, lonely, and alienated, as can be seen in the songs he writes.” He’s also called on Wynona Ryder because of her sometime talking about how she loved The Catcher in the Rye, and “how alienation in the book can tie to alienation in real live [sic] / video games such as World of Warcraft.” Makes sense to me…
That is insane. I suppose (it’s Martin L Gore, it’d be funny if it was Dave Gahan who sings most of it, but doesn’t write a lot) He’s talking about songs like In Your Room, Barrel of a Gun, Halo rather than See You or Just Can’t Get Enough… They could be cited by the defence. Though there’s a massive INTENTIONAL FALACY alert going off over the heads of the whole thing….
And the whether correlation can be extrapolated into causality…

OK, I’m filing suit against the estate of Kobo Abe, whose work has been instrumental to my crippling sense of ennui.

Oh, if we’re about to dispute it, there are a lot of writers I’ve actually to sue.
…And btw, can I juridiculously sue myself?
