My garbage person of the week is
Circuit Court Judge Kenneth K.Lee,
but why?
We're going to go on a little
journey together over the next few
minutes to figure out why.
Kenneth K.Lee was writing
a decision on a case that had to do
with Wesson oil and
the phrase 100% natural,
which was being labeled on it.
The exact details of who is in the
wrong or whatever are not really
important, but really fast, we're
going to read just a little bit.
So it said, simply put Richardson,
the new owner of Wesson oil can
resume using the 100% natural label
at anytime it wishes, thereby
depriving the class of any value,
theoretically afforded
by the injunction which I'm sure
legally is a very important point
means nothing to me.
But Kenneth K.Lee goes on to say
ConAgra thus essentially agreed not
to do something over which it lacks
the power to do.
That is like George Lucas promising
no more mediocre and schlocky
Star Wars sequels, shortly after
selling the franchise to Disney,
such a promise would be illusory.
So that is an analogy that
Kenneth K.Lee is making.
The issue is that,
that's not where it ends for
Kenneth K.Lee.
So if we zoom out to the full
page of that decision, you
can see that down at the bottom.
There's actually a little footnote
and if we zoom into the footnote to
prove Kenneth K.Lee's point,
Lee says as evidenced by Disney's
production of The Last Jedi and
The Rise of Skywalker and
how dare you sir?
[LAUGH] >> You want to make
a point about oil, and you have to
drag The Last Jedi through
the legal muck to make that point.
Okay, if you don't like The Rise of
Skywalker, I get it buddy.
A lot of people didn't.
But what's up with The Last Jedi?
You can't make your point without
leaving that alone.
It was experimental.
It was bold.
It was courageous.
It wasn't necessarily the movie
that Star Wars fans wanted,
but it was the movie that they
needed at that point, and for
the Lee, the judicial system.
I feel assailed on all sides.
And now I can't even turn
to the courts without my most
fundamental pop culture opinions
being attacked.
[LAUGH] >> Jason, it's not fair.
>> John, I've never seen you have
such a deep moving response-
[LAUGH] >> Due to Star Wars man.
[LAUGH] >> Now we know what your
triggers are, John,
we know what your triggers are.
But yeah, how dare he enter Disney
and Star- >> Leave Rey alone.
>> Into the conversation here?
Rey didn't even get a doll when
they were making Star Wars dolls.
I remember that was the thing that-
>> It's true yes.
>> When they were doing like female
empowerment and they were using
the Disney princesses and
people Rey didn't get a doll,
people were pissed.
How dare they shun Rey?
Why is there so
much shade around Rey?
>> [LAUGH] Exactly.
>> It's criminal.
>> And by the way, look,
when you're dealing with a judge,
you're supposed to bring a sound
argument and this is complicated,
we only have another minute or so
but I will point out to
the distinguished Kenneth K.Lee,
that on Metacritic right now
Last Jedi is sitting in 84%.
So, I don't know maybe I'm
not the only one that gets it.
And by the way, one of my go to
movie reviewers, the great
Alonzo Duralde said, Star Wars,
The Last Jedi movie review, the
thrills are strong with this one.
Purists may balk, but
Rian Johnson's episode VIII is
a ripping intergalactic yarn.
So take that judge.
>> Zing zing.
>> A red zing intergalactica.
>> Zing zing.
>> Zing zing, buddy.
If Alonso Duralde says it, hey man,
yeah, it is law.
It is law.
>> It is law, he's a great man.
I miss doing movie reviews
with him.
Now that said,
those are our garbage people.
What about you?
33,000 of you, up until the point
that our community tab crashed,
went and voted this week.
And we've got five,
coming in at number five this week
with 1% of the vote, it's Twitter
conservatives for falling for
Kenny clips pranks again, but
thank you for doing so.
Coming in at number four with 13%
of the vote is governor Greg Abbott
for signing new awful
legislation pretty much every day.
We have a tie for two and three,
both with 14% of the vote, you have
Kyrsten Sinema, proclaiming
the filibuster protects democracy.
And lying about it, and
DeSantis for signing an anti trans
bill on the first day of pride.
So some overlap there with Jason
but number one this week with 59%
of the vote and the community
garbage person of the week goes to
Michael Flynn for saying a military
coup should happen in the US.
And then cowardly denying that he
had said when it's on video, and
we know what you said, buddy,
so that is your garbage person
of the week, Michael Flynn.
Thank you to everybody who voted.
