Underwear-throwing

I would just like to remind loyal IMAO readers that we have no problem with underwear tossing when it comes to demonstrating your undying devotion to the IMAO weblog and podcast…

Underwear tossing was the deal breaker, a lawsuit brought against renowned opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa contends.
Dame Kiri pulled out of a series of concerts with Australian crooner John Farnham after learning that fans sometimes threw underwear at the pop star, according to testimony in court Monday.
Concert promoter Leading Edge Events is suing the New Zealand-born Te Kanawa and her former manager, Nick Grace, for more than more than $464,000 for alleged breach of contract after the soprano decided not to participate in the 2005 tour.
A lawyer for Leading Edge, Richard Evans, told the New South Wales state Supreme Court that Grace knew Te Kanawa had some concerns about performing with Farnham, one of Australia’s best-known pop singers.
“On many occasions Dame Kiri told Mr. Grace that she was not committed, and had some reservations about co-performing with John Farnham,” Evans said, but those feelings were never relayed to the promoter.
“So the plaintiff was led into error in thinking if someone’s pants ended up on the stage that was not enough to dissuade Dame Kiri from performing with John Farnham,” Evans said.

What you choose to throw at your computer screen or at your podcast listening device is your own business, and we’re all about that personal-choice, liberty decision stuff.
However, if you’re listening to the podcast in your car, we strongly urge you to only throw underwear at the playback device that you’re not already wearing. It’s very dangerous to remove your udnerwear while driving (just ask Harvey).
And if you’re reading the IMAO website in your car, well, for God’s sake please pay attention to the road!
