I heard that. It has nothing to do with his politics. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is very consistent in protecting its copyright whenever anyone unauthorized uses it. I've sent out a cease and desist letter for them in my state.

I don't understand why Hollywood is so sensitive. If I was Michael, I would have made a special Oscar Bobble Head for the award. Anyway, he is not going to use it. The word is out and Michael wins...I guess.

Most copyright holders protect their copyrights pretty zealously.

So, if he makes it look similar to the Oscar but changes it to a have a bobble head with crossed eyes and changed the name to the "Red Diaper Doper Baby Idiot of the Week Award" or the "Lenin Award", would that do to satisfy copyright?

Funny how Hollywood can dish it out but can't take it.

If it wasn't too similar. If it was clear it was a parody of the Oscar, he would probably be alright.

Michael asked for the ideas on the "Oscar" replacement.
"The Hollywood Idiot Ot The Week" should stay, the name of the statue "Libby" could stay as well. It is what the new "trophy" should look like. Any ideas?

"He's trolling..."

OR, helping make a mockery of Hollywood and all their sanctimonious hypocracy, idiocy, and pompous vanity.

Here here, Michael Savage.

Right. The Left can make a mockery of the Christian Cross, put it in urine and call it art. Is the Cross of a Christian less important than the Oscar of a Hollywood idiot?
