Message Body
This is 100% total bullshit.

Todd McFarlane has lost a $24.5M lawsuit against St. Louis Blues hockey player Tony "dumbass" Twist over the "use of his name" -- there is a mobster villian named "Antonio Twistelli" in the Spawn comic book.

"McFarlane, an Edmonton native, said he had been concerned over a jury instruction that allowed the panel to give no consideration to whether the hockey player looks like the fictional Twist, a heavyset mobster."

Next thing you know, all the Peter Parkers in the world are going to sue Marvel comics, and all the Bruce Waynes are going to sue DC. Oh, and all the Drew Careys will sue ABC, and so on.

What suprises me most is Twist is Canadian -- Canadian's typically aren't known for being sue-happy.

24.5 MILLION dollars? That's more than he'll ever make playing hockey, which is proof to me his name's not worth that much.
