[cnn] Court tosses ‘Friends’ lawsuit; not even plaintiff surprised

Um, duh.

“[Plaitiff Amaani Lyle] was fired after four months on the job, allegedly because she could not transcribe meetings fast enough or capture the flavor of the meetings.”

Also, because she was working on a comedy series and apparently lacked a sense of humor, and the understanding that if something is funny and sort of racy[1] when you see it on American network television, it started out 1,000x racier (and therefore 1,000x funnier) when it was in the creative stage, before it was whittled down to something that a majority of viewers can understand and networks can accept and still shill Lexuses (Lexi? Lexusi?)

Also, because she was working on a series involving “writers” without understanding that all writers (especially comedy writers) are alcoholic degenerates, God bless them. If that lack of knowledge is not a fireable offense, it should be.

[1] Although I considered Friends neither of these things, I’m told many people did, which is why Jennifer Aniston is one of our finest actors.
