Stern Sues!

Howard Stern is suing ABC over Are You Hot?

Why isn’t Jackie Martling named as a defendant?

I put it in here because I think Howard is mundane and pointless. Since a mod or administrator doesn’t need my permission to move this to a more appropriate forum, I will withhold my permission, just to see what happens.

Seriously, wouldn’t the fact that Jackie Martling, a former Stern writer, was not named be enough proof that this lawsuit is just a stunt? He’s named a former executive producer, but not a former writer. I’m just confused is all…

Martling is just a “consultant.” He probably just wrote a few clever quips or something. Stern’s got a good case, I think. The whole thing is a rip off of something howard has been doing for years. Down to the rude comments, and the laser pointer.

Normally, I’m against such theft of ideas and so forth, but I’m willing to make an exception in this case.

Mr. Stern, you’re fifteen minutes are up.

Well, I’m not going to be able to convince you to like Howard Stern, but I don’t think it’s right that you should make an exception on someone’s rights because you don’t approve of them as people. It’s a pretty short hop to making exceptions for any number of personal shortcomings, several of which you may possess.

Also, his “15 minutes” have lasted for about 20 years. At what point does he develop ability, and stops being a fluke?

I understand you do not like him or his brand of humor, and that’s fine by me, but you aren’t being fair.

I am not positive on this but I heard that “scott the engineer” is the producer of are you hot as well.

So, sue me. :smiley:

C’mon, you had to see that coming!

The idea of people going to court over this piece of crap is amazing. Wouldn’t you rather want to claim you had nothing to do with it instead???

(I was working on a VCR the other night, the TV had to be on channel 3/ABC aff. and whenever the VCR was unplugged…)
