(...) IANAL either, but what IMHO could be actionable by TLC would be a film about juniorization using Lego bricks to demonstrate. Just think of the depression and general negativity such a film could generate. But in all seriousness, if TLC thinks (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) It's called advertising. Cars featured in this way *sell cars* for those car companies. (...) Why in the world should TLC *pay* fans to play with their products? That would be very bad, because TLC wouldn't exist much longer with that (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.lego.direct)
