Among the issues on the North Dakota Supreme Court’s docket is whether breast implants are considered “marital assets” in a divorce. For what it’s worth, the trial judge said the claim was “absolutely nonsense.” (Via.)
And I wonder if male reporters are fighting over covering this trademark infringement trial. It tain’t often those types of cases are expected to be “filled with many images of ample-chested women” and have testimony about “focusing on the boob element, so to speak” or “bringing elegance back to erotica.” (Via.)
