I hear Kato Kaelin is thinking about suing him for using a name too close to his own.

That's Joey Jojo Junior Shabadoo to you.

No, it's Joeyjojo Shubadoo, exactly as Homer Simpson called it in an episode of the Simpsons. It has nothing to do with what (going by Google) is apparently some extremely-low-end rock group that ripped off the name from the Simpsons, which I and 99.999999% of the world population has never heard of.

This reminds of the time Rosie O'Donnell sued a bar named Rosie's after she became famous. The bar had been called that for years before she hit it big.

Another update...

It seems that Homer Simpson creator Matt Groenning has filed suit against extremely-low-end rock group that 99.999999% of the world population + 1 person has never heard of, Joey Jojo Junior Shabadoo. The band allegedly riped-off the ficticious name of a ficticious character from the Simpsons show. Mr. Groenning who had the name copyrighted intends to get a 30 million dollars settlement.

We tried to reach movie director Spike Lee at his home to get his comments but were unable to get him on the phone. His agnet says he is actually in court to have the name of the late Spike Jones removed from its headstone. The headstone wais allegedly trying to benefit from his client's success.

In a final update, we just learned that Chewbacca is now suing all the chewing tobacco companies in the United States because the similarities between the therm "chewing Tobacco" and the furry alien's name could cause confusion amongst fans. In an interview last night, Chewbacca revealed that some fans tried to chew him at last week comic-con in San Diego. He now intends to get a 10,000,000$ settlement with the tobacco industry for misuse of his name and emotional distress.

wow... I just lost all respect for Matt Groening.

There was a Junior in Joeyjojo's name.

His last name isn't Ray, his first name is... if he uses the stage name (technically) Mr. Ray, it is possible that he copyrighted it, especially if he uses it in CD titles or something.

Let me just note that I am not supporting his action, just stating that there is a possibility, however slight, that he has a case.

However if Disney/Pixar can prove that the Manta Ray character had a full name and Mr. Ray was just using Mr. with his last name, then there will be no case. (Actually it would never get that far)

Shhhhh... Nobody wake up late 70's 15 minute comedian Mr. Ray Jay Johnson... He might wanna get in on this....

(You can call me Ray. You call me Jay. You can call me Ray Jay. You can call me Mr. Ray. etc etc. But ya doesn't have ta call me Mr. Johnson.)

I'm serious... I've been a huge fan of his for decades... My favorite comic strip of all time is Life In Hell - been my favorite since before Simpsons even existed. Now he's gonna sue some nobody band for 30 million bucks. That's just retarded. I dunno... I hope it's a joke.

I feel the same way about Chewbacca.

It was a joke....

Very obvious joke..

Paragraphs 2 and 3 (of the "article") should've solidified that!

I didn't know it was an article... I thought the first story was true and the 2nd and 3rd were overly silly to show how stupid the Matt Groening one was. I still don't get why Joeyjojo was even brought up... never heard of it before. I wasn't paying that close attention.

In case any of you want to hear some of Mr. Ray's work...

For some reason I pictured an older guy in my head...

Can i sue Paramount and Sean Cunningham for using Jason as the name of the killer in the F13 franchise. I'm getting tired of people asking me if i'm going to kill them everytime i meet someone new for the first time. I'm putting up with the for 10 or 15 years.

What about that one-hit wonder... Jimmy Ray!?



"... Who got the love?!"

Uh...they look an awfully lot alike.

"IF YOU WANT TO DESTROY MY SWEATER!!!!"


This just in: Rivers Cuomo is suing Mr. Ray for copying his look.

Where is the afadavit from all his friends stating when they hear the name Mr. Ray they think of him?


Hey, it worked for Spike.

I like the title of his album-it would be what I would say to him about winning his case.

LOL

"Hmm, my business sucks and I need money. Oh, a convenient way of promoting my business and possibly getting a cash settlement! Brilliant!"

Ya know in high school i actually had a teacher named Mr. Garrison...did he sue "South Park"?


NOOOOOOO.
