"a woman holding a mobile who, it was argued, looked remarkably like Lohan"
Sorry, I see no resemblance between that mobile and Lohan. It looks like a mobile to me.
Hellraiser Lindsay Lohan has had her case against Grand Theft Auto developers Rockstar Games, for allegedly basing a character on her image, thrown out by a New York court. The actress claimed that her image was used as the basis of one of the game's characters, Lacey Jonas. The Jonas character allowed players to rescue her …
"That image looks EXACTLY like me, falling down stairs" says aggrieved cat.
Lawyers say this lawsuit could take some time but expect millions in payout.
Meanwhile, it is reported that aggrieved cat is on rehab again. "I haven't been sniffing at glue tubes all that much" was the only statement that could be obtained before we went to press.
And the problem with that is?
Well imagine your are in a minor disagreement with someone at , say a football match, and they get involved in and take the discussion off on a sidetrack in tort law. You have no-one to get the judge to stop them and millions of lives will be ruined.
Far better to pay them too much and keep them away from the public as much as possible,
Isn't it humorous the amount of hatred for this Woman simply because she had the tenacity to file a court case.
The hypocracy stems from the hive mind mentality where the progressive left selectively excuse their own hatred towards a group or individual so long as all the other hive members are engaging in said activity.
No doubt tomorrow it will be standard practise of screaming "hate crimes", "sexist pig", and the usual PC crap that they themselves are guilty of when the progressive hive mind says it's acceptable.
Such as today.
Sorry Linds. The Hive Mind has spoken, so it's not a hate crime, or sexist, or any other label why the progressives are attacking you en masse, it's because they have collectively decided your fair game, it's them who also decide what is and isn't sexist.
Sorry about that hun. Yes, they're a bunch of pious hypocrites, we know, that's why the majority of the population have nothing but contempt for these loud mouthed opinionated hypocritical pricks.

Wait when did Destroy All Monsters become a liberal commie bastard ? oh wait my both Liberals and Conservatives both can see a bullshit law suit a mile away. All of my democrat and republicans friends would love to see the end of bullshit lawsuits.

I don't think that's it, though I agree with the premise in the topic.
It's more like "the sue-ers" (pronounced 'sewers') in our society that *FEEL* (the 'F' word that causes SO many problems) they have a right to tie up the civil court systems with their frivolous claims and trivial 'personal drama' issues. "Your dog barks too loud. I'M GONNA SUE!" "I spilled hot coffee in my lap because I was a klutz but it's YOUR fault for making it too hot."
And of course THIS one, "your animated game character looks and acts like me, and you did this without my permission aka 'paying me a confiscatory sum of money'."
'better things to do' comes to mind...

On the whole, you are correct about the result, but the cause was Lohan filing suit in the first place. Maybe if she or her lawyer had simply asked, they could have been shown the photos which lead to artwork and that would have been the end of it. Of course, neither side would have got the publicity they crave without a stupid, frivolous and easily resolved lawsuit being dragged out through the media.
If your lifestyle looks like a ridiculous video game, time to change something. Hint: not the video game.
If you don't like what documentary people are going to say about your lifestyle, time to do something about it. Hint: not try and suppress the documentary.
If you are famous, or want to be famous, expect to be held up to the light and judged harshly by the lumpen masses when they Do Not Approve. That's what fame is.
