Should, but laws outlawing toplessness are almost always upheld by the courts, unfortunately.

"Protecting the public sensibilities from the public display of areas of the body traditionally viewed as erogenous zones — including female, but not male, breasts — is an important government objective."

We'd see some real trickle-down in that case.

And why do you think it's like that?

I thought that's where that guy from Pokémon came from?

Google's maps are decent and can also be downloaded to be offline...? But yeah, it seems like it's a nice alternative, especially if you want to be free from Google's grips.

Nah, but they're both forms of intellectual property.

In this case, it seems like they decided Zynga was infringing on patent US7072849B1. They managed to convince the court that Zynga's advertising methods were too similar to what was described in that patent. Which is bullshit, as software patents shouldn't exist, but oh well.

sell 4 lbs to one at a rebate

But the guy wrote that he was paying normal prices/didn't get any bulk pricing.

Do they get the sex changes before or after going to the insane asylum?

Well, yeah, because they initiated the code to verify it was you who called them. Better than them asking your "security questions" or such. It's a completely different situation if you got an incoming call who asks for that.

Not sure where they're from, and the laws are tricky (plus there's lots of loopholes - if the TV station is technically broadcast from another country, it doesn't need to follow our laws?), but it seems to be similar in Sweden. And yeah, it's usually found in normal stores as well as the alcohol monopoly... but I've never seen anyone buy it, nor is it even significantly cheaper.

For example: 33cl Mariestads Alkoholfri: 12.90 kr. 33cl Mariestads 5,3%: 15.70 kr.

Maybe some people drink beer for the taste, especially hipster beers, but I think otherwise the commercials don't help. I've also noticed they're especially common a small bit before the alcohol monopoly closes -- of course it's their intention that someone sees the "non-alcoholic" commercial at 6PM and will run to the monopoly before 7PM when it closes.
