Because when you win a 65M judgment for no real reason, the first thing you need is a few grand for a pistachio commercial
Not afraid to nitpick
did they actually win a 65 million dollar judgment?
what the hell.
it is what it is, not what we thought it'd be
yes, around $65 million
which was based on a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge undervaluation of Facebook on their part. Like undervalued by the billions. So it was actually an extremely good settlement for Facebook.
My favorite words are goodbye, and my favorite color is red
also, just to clarify
not a judgment; facebook settled

Could you imagine if the Cardinals had signed Mickey Mantle
instead of the Yankees? He’d never have blown out his knee and would have hit 700 HRs. We would have won 4 more WS and Musial would be considered the greatest player to ever live with his 8 World Series titles and all the extra hits RBIs he would have had with Mantle on in front of him.

I'm sorry gdm426, but you need to capitalize the first letter of your sentence.
