Man Threatens Suit Over Character With Same Name - 12.3.05

  Email to a friend



News site Game Revolution recently got some email from a guy complaining to them that a vanity search on Google returns a page about The Blair Witch Project 2 game, which so happens to have a character with his name.

He has threatened to sue the site because apparently people who Google him think the page is about him, and that he's a nutcase:

... when folks type in my name to find me, they connect me with the Blair Witch crap that makes me look foolish--among my colleagues. This is not a pleasant experience. I am being placed in a detrimental position via your(?) web site. I am afraid we need to do something that seperates me from what you are doing. Welcome to the world of law & order?

What do you think I might do about this short of grabbing a fancy lawyer?
