That was interesting.

The site offered some choices that I wouldn't have picked. The highest celebrity match was Mel Gibson. I don't think so.

Then it suggested some Japanese guy I've never heard of.

Ah so!

At first, I thought another CA crazy but this weirdo is from Portland. Wonder if he moved up from CA?

Jordon should counter sue for the exact same amount.

Jordon should be entitled to damages because this guys image brings the defamation of stupidity to Jordon.

[Miss Marple]

I do. I look like Suzanne Pleshette. Howlin looks like Elizabeth Taylor. We choose not to sue, as we don't wish to call attention to ourselves. :-)

[humblegunner]

I look like Suzanne Pleshette. Howlin looks like Elizabeth Taylor.

Great.

Now I've got the Bob Newhart theme (Home to Emily) running through my head.

Didn't Elizabeth Taylor hold Michael Jackson's monkey once?

I'll take an $832M bet with him that he votes 'rat.

Rats love their entitlements, frivolous suing, and the mommy-daddy appeal of the court system since none of them are mature enough to settle anything themselves.

[raj bhatia]

Just wondering. If I were the judge I would dismiss the case in the first minute, bankrupt him by asking him to pay for the court's time and sentence him to community service with hard labor for 100 hrs.

"I do. I look like Suzanne Pleshette."

Not to me. I went to your FReeper home page and found this photo of you. Nuthin like Suzanne Pleshette.

[HighWheeler]

Oh wait. I found a recent photo of you on the 'net.

Yep, you look just like Suzanne Pleshette:

(nice dress, too)

Well, hot diggity dog, this guy is on to something, where do I sign up, hope he makes a bundle, heeehaw, suing cuz you resemble someone, how novel and TOTALLY ASSININE. Geez, this idiot needs to be slapped and the lawyer and judge who hear this assinine case ought to be sued for being stupid.

[siznartuf]

"And Heckard's day, he said, 'is going to be short.'"

Of course, he'll lose the law suit, but he'll get his 15 minutes of fame.

[machogirl]

they will probably hire him for a commercial

I think that this may be the very best example of a frivolous lawsuit, and would be a terrific chance for a judge to dismiss it with prejudice, and direct a verdict againt the plaintiff, charging the plaintiff to pay all court costs and legal fees of the defendants, and then fining the attourney bringing the suit (the plaintiff numbskull) several thousand dollars.

It would be a good start.

"...and the lawyer and judge who hear this asinine case ought to be sued for being stupid."

His lawyer IS stupid... and HE is that lawyer!

[sweetliberty]

Sounds like he ought to be suing God, not Michael Jordan. What did HE (MJ) have to do with it?

[ErnBatavia]

That's alright, I'm 27 and look like Bea Arthur...

That makes you a male Freeper then, right?

[Hootch]

He is acting as his own lawyer.

[ErnBatavia]

It would be interesting to see a freeper celebrity look alike vanity thread

This idea needs to be quashed immediately, due to the Hasselhoff contingent that hangs around.

I have an older brother who looks exactly like Pete Townshend. It's always been great for him at Halloween (he just straps on his guitar and goes), but whenever The Who are in town he literally won't leave his house (which is often, since they've been saying farewell for about thirty years now...).

[raybbr]

I hope this suit is successful, because people tell me I look like Eric Clapton, and I think he has money.

I'm going to file against Sting.
