User:Jonhirst/Jon Hirst (philosopher)

Jon "Freeminded" Hirst is a philosopher, philanthropist, public speaker, cult figure, inventor and martyr. Although his work is not recognised by academic organisations and the mainstream media, his large cult following makes him something of an icon. Unofficially, he has made many contributions to the fine arts, the most notable being his writing work on BBC comedy series 'Mrs Brown's Boys.' Despite not being credited for this, he intends to file the largest lawsuit ever seen in the West Midlands; he is suing the BBC for £83,000,000 for what he claims are 'unpaid royalties for his ideas which ultimately shaped Mrs Browns Boys.' He even went as far as saying that he 'came up with the idea of dressing up as a woman and wearing a wig and ironic glasses.' In January 2014, a high court judge threw the case out of court, saying "Mrs Doubtfire came out in 1993 when Mr Hirst was about 18 months old. Unless he got into contact with Robin Williams as a toddler, it seems most unlikely that Mr Hirst came up with the idea of dressing as a woman and wearing wigs and glasses." The case settled out of court.
