What do you think about the lawsuit filed against Kanye West?

"Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West, taking issue with a music video in which the rapper takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon." Do you think this lawsuit is reasonable or do you think it's just Evel Knievel's way of getting back into the headlines? I personally think that it's crap when someone who seems to be so talented (Kanye West) can't come up with his own ideas. If he wanted to choose a character similar to Evel Knievel why in the world would you use a name that you know is going to bring trademark and legal issues. Come on people let's be original. What's your take on this?

I think he has let fame go to his head and so he thinks he can do anything he wants now and get away with it. Hav you read the stuff he's said before abot awards he didn't win? He's really beginning to annoy me.
