PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Newsflash: Spike Lee Center of Known Universe" |
Well, at least he thinks he is. This has to be one of the more ridiculous things I've seen. Not Spike's (that's Lee) objection, because c'mon, he's Spike-friggin-Lee, but the fact that a court of law would actually take him seriously.Hey TNN, you can call your network Fester TV. I'm a guy, and I could use the pub.

Wait til Samantha Fox hears about this...

*LOL* samantha fox! mr spike lee is one of the most notoriously unapproachable new yorkers giving everyone else a bad name i've heard stories from friends who have seen him out and about and he is unreceptive to his fans, which i would not expect, seeing how few there seem to be in the latter portion of his career. his biggest notoriety of the moment is that he's a knicks courtside season ticket holder, and attends every single game. he's probably more known for that than his movies! i can't believe a court took this seriously, either. this is ridiculous. almost as bad as the georgia tea thing, but not quite as bad. ~ cq

Heh, look at all the stuff with the word "Tech" in the name. I see a career of lawsuits.

I can't believe that someone was paid a lot of money to come up with the name Spike TV. How lame is that? Pooh could have done much better, I am sure.

4. "RE: Newsflash: Spike Lee Center of Known Universe" |
Y'all may be stunned by this, but I think there's merit to Lee's complaint. When I saw "Spike TV", the first thing I thought of was Spike Lee. In fact, I thought he was behind the thing.His popularity notwithstanding, Lee has been involved in the Entertainment industry for some time now, and is very well-known as a filmmaker. So I don't think this case is too farfetched to actually go to trial. I'm not saying he should win, but if he can make his case, then it'll be up to the Court (or jury).

i think the general populus of this country probably doesn't know who he is.
i think more cultured and intelligent people will know, but the people watching this channel probably won't, generally speaking. ~ cq

6. "RE: Newsflash: Spike Lee Center of Known Universe" |
Yeah, but if they're not using anything remotely related to him, other than his first name, why does he get exclusive use of it? What about Spike Jonze? It's not his birth name. Can Spike Lee sue him?Like I said, it doesn't surprise me that Spike Lee took issue with this. It surprises me that anyone listened for more than 5 minutes. Fester <-- constantly amazed at the BS our courts listen to

This is utterly absurd. cq is right, Spike Lee is one of the biggest. jerks. ever. I'm not surprised at this, because his biggest talent is creating brouhahas that are completely self-serving.

I can't believe Spike Lee thinks he's the center of the known universe when it's quite clear that Pooh and Buggy are.
I just don't understand.
