Evel Knievel Sues Kanye West Over Video

Evel's a wackjob, but maybe he's got a point. I've never seen the video in question. Maybe the whole deal is a publicity stunt.

An act of desperation by a has-been.
At least old TV and movie greats show up on quiz shows and infomercials. What do guys like Evel do for an encore? |

This thread looks like it is turning into a for or against Kanye thread but, those feelings aside, does anyone know if there is legal precedence for this? Does Kanye's video have someone in the same suit that Knievel used to wear?

Here... look at the video for yourself: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2714850 Honestly, I don't see Kanye do anything to "defame" Knieval... He's just being crotchety about his likeness being used (and honestly as of late that ain't the only thing he's been "crotchety" about..). |
