A McMechen man whose mugshot won a measure of Internet fame is planning to sue companies he says are profiting from the image.
Patrick Tribett was arrested in Bellaire, Ohio, in 2005. Police say he had been huffing the fumes from gold spraypaint, and the lower half of his face was golden in his mugshot.
New Martinsville lawyer H. John Rogers says the image has appeared on T-shirts, coffee mugs and even a billboard in Europe.

“No runs, no drips, no errors” said Johnny Bench as he painted a bench. If only this guy were named Patrick Face instead of Patrick Tribett, he’d be all set for a big ad campaign. “If our paint sticks to this huffer it’ll stick to anything”.

Here’s hoping that rehab works for him.
OTOH, he may be walking the straight and narrow until he can sue for enough to keep himself in gold paint forever.
He certainly can’t sue for enough to ameliorate the humiliation and his place in history. That’s not going away.

Looter guy, Tourist Guy, the squirrel.
Who else should we send money to? Bagdad Bob? Nick Nolte? The Spork Weasel? Helen Thomas?

Politicians are public figures and you can slap kerry or obama on anything and sell it. Hanoi jane is a private person who makes money from her image and you can’t use her image without permission.
