Do you look like someone famous? Sue ‘em

Posted by Scott | July 7, 2006 .

Its been awhile since i posted anything, just havent been motivated. I figured I would share this with you though. People never cease to amaze me in looking for a quick dollar. This guy who looks somewhat similar to Michael Jordan is suing the real Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for 832 million dollars. Allen Heckard is from Portland, Oregon and filed the suit himself, probably because he’s an idiot and no lawyer is going to win this one. Heckard says he has been mistaken for Michael Jordan for the last 15 years and he is tired of it, because..you know its tough being mistaken for a celebrity.

Heckard is suing Jordan for defamation and permanent injury and emotional pain and suffering, and he is suing Knight for promoting Jordan and making him widely recognizable. Heckard says he his mistaken for Jordan on and off the court because he has mad b-ball skills. He also says he wears Jordan shoes because he is free to choose which shoes he wants to wear.

In my personal opinion Mr. Heckard should stop shaving his head, wearing an earring, wearing Jordan shoes and begging for the attention. If he wins this lawsuit it will be one of the most rediculous things I have ever heard. Unless he gives me part of his winnings for me giving him more exposure with my widely popular blog which is most definetly seen by the massses.
