I am a bit disappointed we didn't get, ah, a Meatier Lake. But my 4900HS laptop still works fine.

"The owners of Clowns.com didn't give employees detailed pay statements as required by New York law"
Also, there was something about selling the employees work shoes that were garbage, and charging the employees who refused said shoes.
If this can be proven, the owners are probably in a good amount of trouble. Not sure if these specific issues can lead to jail time, but probably some pretty hefty fines. Wage theft is serious business.
Also, Akismet's still barfing on "smart" quotes.
