in case you're wondering . . . no, they're not copyrightable
word for word out of my Copyright supplement:
"ConWest has created, and registered claims of copyright in, twelve sculptures of male genitalia, which it reproduces and sells as adult novelty items under the trademark FALCON. The packaging for each sculpture indicates that it is compatible with a variety of lubricants and is dishwasher safe. ConWest sued Playtime Novelties for unauthorized sales of ConWest's products, and Platime argued that teh sculptures are useful articles, the designs of which are not protected by copyright. ConWest asserts that the sculptures' designs incorporate features that are conceptually separable from any of their utilitarian aspects. In particular, ConWest argues that the sculptures "are intended to stimulate in the mind of the beholder an appreciation of the inherent beauty and power of male sexuality" and notes that it "has priced these erotic fantasy sculptures well above the range for purely utilitarian 'sex toys'" and that collectors purchase the sculptures for display."

the great leap forward
The 4400 season finale last night was one of the best hours of TV I have seen in a long, long time and was by far the best season finale I've ever seen, being closely rivaled only by the show's own 2nd season finale. Immediately after it was over, I just wanted to watch it again, to think about everything I had just seen. I absolutely love Heroes, but I can't say it's going to be the same for me after falling back in love with The 4400 this summer and watching the first three seasons beforehand. I think it's the best show on TV and it better freaking come back for season 5.
