Chapter One

Wherein The Gord recalls minor incidents where "the law" was claimed.

01 / 02

The TV Law!

“I’d like the play a game on the big TV please.”

“I don’t have any consoles hooked up to it at the moment as I’m somewhat busy today.”

“You have to let me play on the TV! It’s the law”

“What?”

“The law says if a store has a demo system set up, they have to let people play it at their request.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes! Now I demand you let me play this game!”

“I think it’s time for you to read a book. Either you failed law or you’re a compulsive liar. I’d taken even money on both.”

“I’m never coming back!”

“Oh no! I’ve lost a deadbeat! Nooooooooo…………”

02 / 02

The Law Firm of Nintendo

“What’s that?”

“That’s Tobal #2. It’s from Japan.”

“That’s illegal!”

“What?”

“It’s illegal to import stuff from Japan!”

“Oh really?”

“Nintendo Power said that it’s called ‘the grey market’ and it’s illegal.

“You’re taking your legal advice from Nintendo, a company that also says that renting games is illegal and that selling used games is piracy?”

“You’re going to get into trouble.”

“Because I bought a game from Japan?”

“Yes. That’s illegal.”

“Stay in school. And invest in a law book before you become a free lawyer dolling out legal advice from the book of Nintendo.”
