Lay off the drugs, Spike Flea.

Spike Lee is reportedly suing the new Spike channel claiming people will associate it with him. Hmmmm. Lets see, all male high testosterone channel (lets see if it lives up to it, Sci-Fi channel isn't sci-fi enough for the moniker it wields) vs nerdy little runt. Face it Shelton (that's his real name and it screams DORK!), your 15 minutes of fame ran out two hours ago and you're doing everything to try to keep your name in the papers.

Gotta lay off that crack, son.

I agree completely Skull.  We talked about this during my TV/Newswriting class today and I couldn't help but think how ludicrous this was.  Spike TV is a stupid name for a network, but I don't see why Spike Lee has to make such a big deal out of it.  Personally I didn't think of Spike Lee when I first heard the name change.  The only thing I thought was how stupid the change was.  I guess Spike Lee thinks that when (a very little amount of) people are watching Turkey Call on Sunday mornings, they'll automatically expect him to pop out of the woods and start shooting too.  Whatever.  Hopefully this'll just die down quietly, but I doubt it.

He ought to sue Buffy:The Vampire Slayer, too. When I think of Spike, I think of the Vampire. Now when I think of Shelton, I think of Sigmund the Sea Monster, perhaps he had better sue them, too.

The only Spike i like is Jones. And the City Slickers have entertained me more then this lil egotist ever has.
Ya wanna buy a bunny?

Last I have check... his name is Spike Lee... not Spike (TM or Copyright) Lee...

Sorry, Mr Lee... and once again, The Man will have to say no to this...

Note... I dont think your that dumb... you did do Summer of Sam... Fire your money greedy agient (hes not helping you)

[Vermin Boy]

I like Spike Lee, but this is pretty dumb. Interestingly, I'm pretty sure Spike Jones' name IS a copyright (which makes me wonder why Spike Jonze hasn't gotten into any trouble).

I'm not a racist.  I have nothing against people being proud of their heritage.  I'm only 1/4 Norwegian, but that's still the primary genetic makeup in my blood and I like to think I had ancestors who looked like Zakk Wylde at some point.  But I hate Spike Lee.  He's a pretentious little jerkoff who should have his camera taken away immediately.  Oooh look at me!  I'm black!  I make movies about how black I am!  Give me money and call me a genius!

Spike is not exactly the rarest of nicknames. I've heard it on a number of fictional characters and several dogs and cats, not to mention at least one person I've met. I'd be more likely to associate it with Spike from the Transformers than Spike Lee.

Just Lee trying to grab some publicity.

More news on the case.

Some idiot judge (I know, almost all judges and lawyers are idiots), has put a stay on the name change for the moment.

Lee has good old Johnny Cockroach working for him.

The good news, this is going to cost Lee a half million or more when he loses. Bwahahaha.

I know!  When he does lose, I'll laugh my ass off!! :)

And here is a new twist to the case.

I hope that Shelton see this and realises what an ass he is being.

[Creepozoid]

Spike is actually as dumb as a fish and this fits 100% with his character.

[SkullNinja]

This just in - - -

   "Johnnie Cochran, the lawyer representing Lee, shot back that if the network was allowed to use the name, it would result in irreparable damage to his client, since he would forever be associated with the "demeaning, vapid, and quasi-pornographic content of Spike TV."


Bwahahaha

Spike TV should sue because their guy channel might be associated with the effeminate, untalented, and idiotic character of Shelton Lee.
