"Evil" Knievel lives up to his name

I couldnt beleive it when I saw this article on BBC News website:
Evel Knievel sues over video

I mean... c'mon!! Here is the worst case of sour grapes I have ever seen. Rap "star" Kanye West makes a video and in it pretends to be Evel Knievel. The video causes much controversy, has a huge budget and gives West some notoriety. Evel thinks "oh shit.. here is someone pretending to be me and getting a better response at it than I did". He immediatley cries about it, claims the video infringes copyright and tarnishes his image by its "vulgar, sexual" nature then files a lawsuit.

Hmmm... tarnishes his image... a little hint here Evel... unless you are my age group or older no one has a fucking clue who you are, and even people my age and older only remember you vaugely as the idiot that wore stupid jumpsuits and arsed about on motorbikes!

Frankly I am a little bit suspicious of his motives and think it has less to do with copyright and more to do with the fact that he is a burnt out old has-been who is bitter as hell and looking for some quick cash. He has been given two years to live as he has pulmonary fibrosis and says he hopes that they will find a medication to help him "but who knows". I'll tell you who knows... your lawyer. Sinking a big fat lawsuit cheque into medical research wouldnt help you at all would it Evel?

Oh and he is also probably pissed off that West got to cavort with Pammy while "Little Evel" can't even rise to the occasion anymore.
