She’s Harry Potter with a toilet mouthBILL BROWNSTEIN,
The GazettePublished: 8 hours agoSee her once and, guaranteed, you’ll never forget her. DeAnne Smith is much aware that comedy audiences are as mystified as they are amused by her presence. She sums up their reactions best: “Why is Harry Potter talking about vaginas?”Smith may look like Harry Potter, but she sounds more like Amy Poehler. She hails from the wee burg of Binghamton in upstate New York - not far from Popes Ravine and Fivemile Point. She is now a hit on the Montreal as well as the Australian laugh circuits. Not bad for someone who has only been honing her craft the last four years. But her success is no accident.
Weird Cases: suing judges
Times Online, UK
And trouble is what Canadian advocate Kimberly Townley-Smith now faces. In 2005, Townley-Smith represented the folk group Wyrd Sisters in a $40million lawsuit against Warner Bros. The Winnipeg group alleged that thecompany, which makes the Harry Potter films, had appropriated their band’sname for Weird Sisters, a group featured in Harry Potter and the Gobletof Fire. The claim failed as the court decided that the folk group wasunlikely to be confused with the rock group in the film, which is speltdifferently. Dissatisfied, Ms Townley-Smith pursued three judges involved in the case andsued them for conspiracy alleging that they had been involved in a sinister“dysfunction” against her client. She demanded $21 million in damages forconspiracy, fraud, misrepresentation, abuse of process, and abuse of publicoffice. Ms Townley-Smith accused the judges of skulduggery, lying, andfixing the case.
