Rumor website parody of Glenn Beck

Print E-mail
A particular rumor website parody of Glenn Beck, a spoof website whose domain name is a paraphrase from a stand-up performance by comedian Gilbert Gottfried in which he jokingly implored listeners to disregard the (non-existent) rumors that fellow comedian Bob Saget had raped and murdered a woman, was created by Isaac Eiland-Hall in parody of Beck's allegedly paranoid style of political commentary.

In October of 2009, lawyers for Beck complained to the World Intellectual Property Organization that the site's domain name infringed on Beck's trademark interest in his own name and was libelous.
