Suck it up and pay out Lucas and Spielberg.

As rich white Hollywood liberals, you always like to rail against evil corporations profitting off of the third world. Then, you make yourselves feel smug by campaigning and supporting the likes of Barack Obama.

It's time for you to walk the walk.

As Obama's preacher of hate would say ... "The chickens have come home to roost."

Suck it up and take your lashings.

I visited a museum in Mannheim Germany about a year ago and saw a display on skulls from around the world. There were several crystal skulls that were identified as relatively modern in origin. The information providedindicated that none of the 12-13 crystal skulls discovered around the world were ancient.

By the time the suit is settled; all Americans will be broke and Lucas and Spielberg will pay the suit with goats and chickens. If they pay at all.

Given the claims surrounding those skulls, the copyrights, if any, expired centuries ago.

Like a new wave band embracing guitars & R&B back up singers, it seems everyone forgets that people like things for a reason and changing the formula is stupid.

Awe claims that the Crystal Skull from the film bears a striking resemblance to the Mitchell-Hedges Skull (though as some folks are noting in the comments, those resemblances seem to be that they are both transparent are somewhat skull-shaped; the movie skull is less human) and thus must have been based on its likeness. Awe goes on to allege that Lucasfilm never approached Belize for permission to use the skull's likeness, although Awe claims that "Belize has a right, title and interest in and to the Mitchell-Hedges Skull." Awe is suing the Mitchell-Hedges estates as well as Bill Homann, the late Anna's husband and current custodian of the skull, for the return of the skull, and is suing Lucasfilm (and Disney as the parent company) and Paramount for tortious interference with prospective economic benefit and civil conspiracy.

Dan Ackroyd must be shaking in his boots right now!
