Thats how I feel, and I had to rewatch the Video to find the "vulgar and Offensive images" he said that were in it and I could not find it, till I see Pamela Anderson kiss Kanye West.. (In my best Hillbilly voice) "I dont like that race mixing" He's just mad because there was a Interacial kiss

I can't wait to see this pleading hit TheSmokingGun.com.

From the little I know about this, I actually think he has a fairly legit claim given the facts.

Re: Evel Knievel sues Kanye West

I think he has a good case actually. They will settle out of court.

Lil more info here, It just seems like he has a problem with the Black man white woman Kiss

"Knievel, who is seeking royalty payments and damages, claims he is most concerned with the video's sexually charged content, which he says hurts his reputation as a role model for children."

Hmmm you were jumping in the 70's, You live in a Nursing home now, What Children are you talking about? most of the kids dont know who you are And How is Jumping over Canyons 1 mile wide being a role model? Thats wreckless when I was young and he was on abc wide world of sports I watched to see if he was going to kill himself..

I'm not sure why you're hellbent on turning this into a racial issue, but that's about enough of that.

I haven't seen the video, but if it's like 99.9% of the other rap videos ever made, maybe Evel is objecting to all the ***-shaking, bling-bling, glamorization of the playa lifestyle and objectification of women. I haven't seen many (any?) rap videos I'd associate myself with if I were looking to be a role model for children.

You have to see the video....its not anything like most rap videos. The only T&A is Pamela Anderson with her boobs hanging out.

As for the suit..Evil wont win. The video is a parody of his snake river canyon jump and Kanye's attorneys will argue fair use and win easily. He may not like Kanye or his image but Kanye's use is protected.

If this gets anywhere near settled then Weird Al Yankovic is in some serrrrrrrrious trouble

You don't think the video for Gin & Juice would be good for something like that? No?
