Touch the sky

I guess when Kanye made that song he didnt realize that Touch the Sky was short for "Put your hands in the air, Touch the sky and give me all your money lol."

Yep the legendary Evil Knievel is suing Kanye over the Touch the Sky video. Cant blame him really after all its a crappy video and Kanye is an annoying arrogant s.o.b and in the video it wasnt too hard to figure out who he was impersonating. What I find funny though is that in Knievel's suit you would think that he (Kneivel) walked around with a halo on his head.

Knievel says in the suit "the “vulgar and offensive” images depicted in the video damage his reputation."

Ummm what reputation? Last I checked Mr Evil your name wasnt Pastor Kneivel, you werent a moral signpost for anyone, no one was hanging onto your words like a televangelist, you aint even made a stay in school special son. You were a madman jumping over obstacles in death defying stunts. Parents were like "boy you is a idiot or what! dont do that foolishness dat you see he doing on tv and go and pop ya neck. he head could only be bad trying to jump over a grand canyon. chupse!"

So how does this very tame video I might add ruin your reputation?

I mean if you dont like Pamela Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross or Nia Long just come out and say so but dont make it seem like the video is something its not.

Its a cheesy video about a guy jumping over the grand canyon getting mad press while a couple of girls are on his jock (wait hold up does anyone use the phrase on your jock anymore or am I showing how un-hip I really am).

As an aside Kanye is one of the few guys who makes videos that actually turn me off from songs. The All Falls down video with Stacey Dash completely ruined that song for me. Ruined I say ruined!

But back to Knievel. If anything I'd be mad cause at the end of the video the Kanye Evil Knievel character crashes and burns in his stunt attempt but come on guy.

And the whole "and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public,” umm Dr umm Mr Evil Kanye was getting mad press before he used your image in his video. He aint no johnny come lately trying to use you to get some shine. Ever heard a little ditty called Jesus walks that was all over the radio 24-7 a few years ago. Yep that was him and umm your likeness aint nowhere in there.

Still like I said cant blame Mr Evil for the suit. He probably needs the cash and Kanye did use his likeness but lets not go overboard with the hyperbole about vulgar images now.

re on your jock
I don't think anybody says that. I've actually never heard it before. Maybe it's about to come back.

If you're old than so am I cause that read smoothly to me.
Note to Evil Kneivel:

Young people have no idea who you are. I feel older for even having mentioned you.

P.S.

Vulgar and Offensive? Your name is EVIL.

He must need some money in a real way...he's reaching. And Kanye's just real....arrogant these days....womp womp.

LOL..@ Evil Kneivel. I'm not sure what he's suing for. Folks don't need permission for parodies, and its not a crime or infringement on/of ones right of privacy. That is, if the person being parodied is a public figure.. Haven't Weird Al Yankovic and Mad TV benefited from doing parodies? I actually thought EK had passed on...

LOL LOL @ "your name ain't Pastor!"

I heard this today and immediately filed it in the 'don't care' category. Blah. Kanye's ego can go sit down somewhere. Didn't even bother with his second album.

I think somebody needs some publicity and money and it ain't Kanye...

Evil need money yes. In the US a lot of silly cases get settled just to stop them -
