Evel Knieval Sues Kanye West

[Jason Tate]

Evel Knievel is suing (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1212061evel1.html) Kanye West over his video for "Touch the Sky."

[Drew Beringer]

haha wow

[Jason Tate]

Evel's a hypocrite.

[Jared Kaufman]

Evel's a hypocrite.
Explain.

[Mitch]

Oh god.

[Serenity]

wow... this is kind of funny.

[Prestonxsmith]

Wow. Didnt Kayne say that his music video was worth 1 Million dollars when he didnt win the MTV Europe "Best Music Video" award?

[untilnextwinter]

HAHAHHA. Wowwwww. How many people have done Evel Knievel type movies? Please.

[Prestonxsmith]

Why isnt Lupe Fiasco not being sued?

[alltoyou]

oh man, i can just see it now,

"evel knieval doesn't care about black people.."

[RandomHero1230]

took him long enough.

EDIT: Fine I'll give him some credit, he's a pretty old dude.

[hopeforthebest]

Why isnt Lupe Fiasco not being sued?

Because he'll get more money if he sues Kayne

[untilnextwinter]

oh man, i can just see it now,

"evel knieval doesn't care about black people.."

Hahahaha yes.

[Prestonxsmith]

Anyone but me notice that in the beggining they say that they are pleased with the current sales of Evel Knievel products. But twards the end, they say that sales and his reputation was hurt.
Wtf?

[Holden85]

next defandant is the fonz for his stint as the happy days daredevil. for shame the fonz, for shame.

[JulieLynn]

[duhpunk]

[kinevil kinevil]

Evel Knievel is stupid...spelling his name all crazy and stuff.

[Shaved Goat]

"The Infringing Music Video also contains racially-charged language apparently related to the sexual relationship portrayed between 'Evil Kanyevel' and Pamela Anderson. The vulgar, sexual, and racially-charged nature of the Infringing Music Video is directly counter to Evil Knievel's long-established public persona, utterly inconsistent with his toy products and appeal to children, and harms the reputation of the Evil Knievel Trademark, and the Evil Knievel Costume."

Basically:
1. Evil Knievel is afraid of sex.
2. Tempting death on a motorcycle is completely ok for kids to idolize, but rap music is the devil.
3. Evil Knievel only cares about money.

[Tomisthekiller]

Good. I love Kanye's music but he acts like a fucking dick.

[Name_Taken]

good.

[Talib Scottie]

Did he see the video on VH1 Classic or something? That's an old video.

[exthuse]

The best bit was him suing AOL because Kanye was 2nd result hahahahaa.

[JunkBondTrader]

[emiliodelgado]

[AdamTheGreat]

oh man, i can just see it now,

"evel knieval doesn't care about black people.."

LOL!

[tiff_taff]

How stupid

[RX XR]

good i hate kanye

[music3chick]

haha
if he says and knows that his image is SO worldly recognized, why be pissed at one little five minute video?

he needs to find better things to do

[Chevy114]

Damn it kanye why couldn't you wait a few months for him to die before you stole his style. Until then stick to the elvis style or the buddy holly style... they can't sue you from the grave.

[CoveredIT]

Good. Kanye West is an arrogant idiot. Somebody needs to deflate his ego.

[fenderkid212]

wow...somebody is desperate for money.

[bottledregrets]

Good. Kanye West is an arrogant idiot. Somebody needs to deflate his ego.

deflate his ego? Are you serious? It can't be stopped and quite frankly ego has nothing to do with this at all. If you read what this thread is about it clearly states that he is being sued for copying the "Knieval" image that he was known for. I think it's pretty lame and he probably will not win this one at all. If you do somehow figure out though how you can tie in his ego with this let me know.

[Ladron]

I agree that the video was a huge piece of crap though.

[Brandon133]

Raise your hand if this video made you think less of Evil Knievel.

If you did, you're lying.

It bothers me how people sue each other for anything these days.

[Matt_Dizzle]

whoa lol how gay
