And for the proof that it really is "art", look at the reputation of the crew member from Milan... :). She is just doing her job... This is so silly. I just hope it is not too aggravating to, or disconcerting to, the crew members.

I wonder if they have extradition rights with the city-state of Milan? Is Janice shakin in her (one of these days...) boots?

You are suing people for making ART! ....To be honest, I'm not surprised at this. In my experience, many times it's the dirty bird that chirps the loudest. ... I only wish they would have included a couple of fictional characters and aliens to their wish list. Another artist (coincidentally, also named Bill) might agree with you: "The lady doth protest too much methinks!" Shakespeare Hamlet c 1601 I don't think that the original Bill, would have gone for aliens, but then again, he might have thrown in the 16th / 17th century English literary equivalent of aliens, namely the Italians (Milanese perhaps?)
