HEADLINES ON March 24, 1989

Full News Archive

  • Headline: A Cheyenne Mystic's Journey for Justice. Impact: If those two Montana Indians had just stayed home and binge-watched their favorite show instead of trying to rescue the sister, who knows? Maybe the entire TV industry would have changed, leading to a world where reality shows never existed. Imagine a utopia devoid of Kardashians!. Fact: Interestingly, 'bitterness' is not just an emotional state; it’s also the flavor of many popular craft beers. So, theoretically, this film could have inspired a whole new genre of 'bitterness-themed' brews!.
  • Headline: Suzuki's Samurai Advertising Controversy. Impact: Thanks to Suzuki's deceptive advertising, an entire generation learned that 'Samurai' could also mean 'drive carefully or risk a lawsuit.' This has led to countless awkward conversations at dinner parties where people mistakenly associate samurais with car safety.. Fact: Did you know that the term 'Samurai' actually refers to a historical warrior class in Japan? Just imagine them rolling their eyes at the idea of a 'Samurai utility vehicle.'.
  • Headline: Space Law's Role in Future Conflicts. Impact: C. Dennis Ahearn's shift from astronaut dreams to space law meant that instead of floating in zero gravity, he was stuck in a world of paperwork—leading to a future where lawyers are the ones negotiating peace treaties with aliens. Who knew the intergalactic future would be so...legal?. Fact: Fun fact: Space law is a real thing! So technically, if aliens ever decide to sue us for copyright infringement, we’re all going to need a good lawyer—or a really good excuse..
