To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Vancouver ends up taking a financial bath from hosting the Olympics. Okay, maybe not a bath to the extent of the '76 Montreal Olympics, but a loss nonetheless. There have already been plenty of cost overruns.

That's the best part, Bob. He's damned if does and he's damned if he doesn't. It' like a Chinese finger trap or quick sand. The more you fight the more stuck you get.

This is hilarious. Through his legal action beck is actually helping the internet meme grow and compound, rather than quickly whither away as it would if ignored. I have to wonder if he didn't know this going in and figured the publicity was good either way.

He wants it shut down because Respondent’s website makes a poignant and accurate satirical critique of Mr. Beck by parodying Beck’s very rhetorical style."

Nicely played! Even their legal response makes fun of Beck.

It makes fun of Beck? I thought Beck really was an abject imbecile

That could be the weak link in the defense's argument.

Perhaps Beck IS the President of the international association of Imbeciles..

I've had the same thought.

In fact I'm nearly convinced it is the case.

Not only is there "No such thing as bad publicity." where someone of his weasel-like character (apologies to real weasels) is concerned, but his target audience is quite incapable of understanding the irony, so they will see him only as a victim. Their blind adoration won't be the least bit diminished.

It's still gobs of fun for the rest of us.

Nobody has even a little bit of concern about that last one?

It should have had a Seinfieldian disclaimer ".....not that there is anything wrong with that...."

Bump. Glenn Becks crack legal staff has been hard at work.
But so have the good people at glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com

It's the first time that I have ever seen "whoosh" in a legal document. We need more lawyers willing to go out on a limb and use sound effects in their briefs.

jnelso99 · 21st October 2009, 12:16 PM

"sound effects in their briefs."

Sounds like me after a trip to Taco Bell...

WIPO decides in favor of the owner of the website glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com The owner of website, being a class act, relinquished the website to Mr Beck.

So you're saying it's a win-win?

glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1992.com
glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1993.com
