Hasbro added a hamster to its Littlest Pet Shop collection and named it Harris Faulkner. That is so funny and so weird.
Harris Faulkner Sues Company Over Toy Hamster Named 'Harris Faulkner' That Looks Like Her
Faulkner, the Fox News Channel anchor and television personality, does not think
it is funny and is suing the company so that it will kill the little
hamster who did nothing but have a funny name and also look kind of like
her. Faulkner thinks the toy’s existence is detrimental to her
reputation and is also mean and would like them to get rid of it and
give her $5 million.
The Harris
Faulkner toy was introduced in 2014, according to the lawsuit, and was
sold in a package as the pet hamster of a terrier named Benson Detailer.
Other toys in the popular line include animals named Pancakes Watkins,
Puffball Petrovsky and Pepper Clark.
The
lawsuit says Faulkner never gave permission for Hasbro to use her name
or likeness and that she even demanded in January that Hasbro stop using
it. More than three weeks later, it was still for sale on Hasbro’s
website, the lawsuit contends.
Taylor Swift-related Twitter drama is alive and well again,

still get her music on iTunes.
It also includes a quote from Cyrus explaining that she has already “made [her]
money” and that she doesn’t care if “no one buys [her] album,” along
with a description of Cyrus’s Happy Hippie Foundation, which benefits
LGBT youth. The tweet concludes, “The difference is astounding.”
But Calvin Harris was not about to let a former boy-bander imply via the
medium of retweet that his girlfriend is only in it for the money. So
he fired back to Malik explaining that Swift’s business decision wasn’t
about her personal wealth, but about what’s fair for other musicians
trying to earn a living in a series of strongly-worded

Now it’s time for ... what, exactly? The trailer used to be the hors
d’oeuvre before the main course; now it’s being treated as a significant
repast in its own right, a sort of antipasti before we get stuck into
the spaghetti alle vongole.
