Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West, taking issue with a music video in which the rapper takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon.
Knievel, whose real name is Robert Craig Knievel, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Tampa on Monday claiming infringement on his trademark name and likeness. He also claims the "vulgar and offensive" images depicted in the video damage his reputation.

"Put down the bong son and get a breath of fresh air. Did you really think you had to inform me of this? and if you were twenty years older, I could tell you what you drive, where you hang out on friday nights, and could identify 95% of your record collection.
Nothing new under the sun, son.
You're up early today. Now go get some fresh air."
OK, to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover, I'll give you my bio:
I'm 41 years old, and I have 4 kids that I'm raising by myself after losing my wife to cancer 2 1/2 years ago. I'm the owner of a business that produces a one of a kind, never before seen product that is about to break in a HUGE way, both domestically AND internationally. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I've never done a drug in my life, never even tried marijuana. I awake every day at 4:47 AM, do my daily housework, get my kids up and off to school at 7, then go about doing my business, selling and producing my product. I get home in time for my kids to get home, (about 3 o'clock) make dinner, spend time with them helping with homework, running everyone to hockey practice and school functions, yadda yadda, finish whatever business stuff I can tie up, and head to bed about 10 o'clock.
Now if you can crawl out of your righteous hole long enough to consider that not everyone is what you assume they are, and that you are not the arbiter of all that is right and wrong, you may apologize and I will accept said apology.
Wow. How do you find the time to post to FR?
"Wow. How do you find the time to post to FR?"
You took the words right out of my mouth.

"Wow. How do you find the time to post to FR?"
I have light work days too. One of the advantages to being your own boss.
Especially if Evel comes after West with a baseball bat. That's how he settle his dispute with that author.
Godspeed. And please, no more private emails.
