Why You Can Make Stuff Up About Celebrities | Hustler Magazine v. Falwell

Supreme Court Briefs is back. I've been wanting to cover this case for awhile, and a couple of you suggested it as well. Given the subject matter, this might be my first NSFW video yet, even though I think I handled professionally. :)

And I must say, wow has American society dramatically changed since 1988. 

Thank you for your continued support!

I read through them as best as I can. :) I do list all my sources in the description I'd you want to check those out.

Mr. Beat

Hey Mr. Beat. I'm curious, do you actually get to read the court's opinions on these cases when you make these videos? I'm curious cuz that can be a lot of work. I'm guessing you get some help reading through them...

Just tried on my phone, it works there.

It's not doing that for me. Are you trying it on mobile or desktop?

Mr. Beat

Hey Mr Beat! Your sponsored link to Apex news is redirecting to some weird "Opera News" site (dailyadvent.com) not sure what's going on there..

Pedro Paulo Vezza Campos

probably the funniest political satire I’ve ever seen. Season two is happening right now, but in my opinion it’s not as good as season one…

Ralph W. Kelly

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've never seen an episode. I'll have to check it out!

Mr. Beat

Spitting Image is gospel in my opinion. It works because it disses everyone, and isn’t seen as having a bias towards a particular party and/or system of government

Ralph W. Kelly

Sometimes the government works.

Gael Guerard

Yeah, I agree, and here it was a Court that Flynt worried about (a fairly "conservative" group overall).

Mr. Beat

Yeah, I do understand why Falwell was upset, but public figures kind of can't avoid it.

Mr. Beat

Context is everything when it comes to free speech. The Supreme Court made the right decision.

Thanks for the video! I kind of remember when that was all going on. It does seem like Hustler was going a bit far, especially for that era. And at least they ended up friends. In Dave Chappelle's comedy he say some pretty outrageous things, but I have to admit I laugh and he is one of my favorite comedians. Such a fine line between parody/humor and hurting someone's reputation. I hope if I was put on the spot that I could "take a joke"!
