Spanish woman claims ownership of the Sun

[Tanzka]

I wonder how she's going to make the moon pay up for using the sun.

Dear Angeles Duran,
It has come to my attention that you are now the proprietor of the sun.
I am from England, and I wish to register a complaint...

 

[quantumsoul]

Why stop at planets and stars. Why not claim ownership of deities too. I claim ownership of God. Those who want prayers answered will have to pay a reasonable fee to use God. I will be accepting payment through PayPal.

Now if she'll just pay damages caused by sunstroke, sunburn, drought, skin cancer, fire, blindness and several others I could name there won't be a problem.

 

[halex]

I hearby claim ownership of time as well as space. Hazah! Bow to me....

 

[Zenthunder]

hmmmm well can't wait till someone sues her for her star giving them skin cancer i meen if your lible for a car or a dog why not the sun you want to charge people for.

 

[slarrs]

Funny. Not reasonable or realistic of course, but funny.

I'm reminded of this Penny Arcade:

Yeah man. Just tax everything that relies the sun. Which is.... everything. That'll go over well

I've got a nice bridge in Brooklyn for sale, too.

she now wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the Sun

But wait a second, wouldn't that just be taxing literally every non-aquatic organism on planet Earth?

No it wouldn't be, because shallow-water plants use the sun for photosynthesis XD

good thing I use Sol. The Sun is soo overrated.
OT: Really? Send me a bill, and I'll send it back paper clipped to a wolverine. You can't do this. I'll buy the Earth, and bill you all for using my gravity.

This makes me think of those "Have a Star Named After You" gift packs you sometimes see.

Good luck enforcing this one, lady.

Exactly. How can see enforce this? And billing every thing that uses it? My dog is wondering if she will accept bones.

You could claim you do not want the Sun, and the Sun is simply forcing itself on you. Lightrape if you will.

What if I use high-strength sunblock?

Duran, who lives in the town of Salvaterra do Mino, said she now wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the Sun and give half of the proceeds to the Spanish government and 20 per cent to the nation's pension fund.

She would dedicate another 10 per cent to research, another 10 per cent to ending world hunger ? and would keep the remaining 10 per cent herself.

Wait a second....
20%+10%+10%+10% = 50%
What the fuck is going to happen to the other 50%?
She may know her law, but God help her she does not know basic maths. Maybe our taxes won't be that bad.

She did it right, the first part just didn't have a percent next to it.

 

[Pholark]

Damn Spaniards... been wanting what they can't have since 1898.

 

[Tomo Stryker]

Either this is the best troll attempt I have seen in awhile or this is bullshit covered in even more bullshit covered in inane taxes.

 

[esperandote]

Let the cancer sueing beggin.

 

[Slash Dementia]

Can I sue her for forcefully using the sun on me? I refuse to use her sun, but she won't move it out of my sight (until a certain time of day)--it's becoming a disturbance. It's too bright sometimes, and it hurts my eyes. I refuse to wear sunglasses, because, why should I have to wear them because of someone else?

Also, what about the people getting skin cancer from her ultra violet rays? They can sue her, too. It's a health hazard.

She better get her purse out...
