LITERARY AGENT SUES THE INTERNET FOR BEING MEAN TO HER. NEWS AT 11.
It all started with a list - a list of questionable literary agencies and agents. Unfortunately, someone named Barbara Bauer was on this list. This made her very, very, very, very unhappy. (So unhappy, in fact, she demanded A BILLION DOLLARS from several bloggers for her pain and suffering.) Why, oh why won't they fork over the dough? And why are they laughing? What's a poor, maligned literary agent to do? SUE WIKIPEDIA AND THE BLOGOSPHERE!, that's what. Hmmph. That'll show 'em!

Oops...DISMISSED! Wikipedia, you bastard!

(SRS BZNS ETA: I've received some additional info about the court cases that are still pending, which can be found here)

Okay, now that I've recovered a little, I still can't believe this. I mean, I know there's no age limit for behaving like a thirteen-year-old when you get bad reviews, and anyone can be a wanky dumbass when it comes to the internet, but wow. It plays out like classic fanbrat. "Even the authors who've paid me in the past are calling me an asshole. Those ingrates, I'll sue!"
