"The first paragraph uses 'gratis' four times;
the second paragraph says they won't pay her...
... What are they trying to tell us?" Mr UD asked UD this morning, as they both signed a form from New Liberty Productions. If they didn't sign it, La Spawn couldn't perform tonight with Dr. Phil and the President at Christmas in Washington.
Here's the form:
