Legal Action Against Scary Movie 3
Michael Jackson has decided to sue the makers of the film Scary Movie 3 because of the ugly joke about his alleged involvement with children—both in the film and in the promotion video. In this report, which is cited from People News, it is said that Michael’s lawyers are planning to remove these scenes from the film and its advertising, although, according to experts, Michael’s success seems unlikely. Michael Oconner, one of those familiar with legal issues in the performing arts, says: "Forming a legal case is as simple as A, B, C is not (... maybe a reference to Michael’s song ABC in which Michael considers love to be simply these three letters...). Comedy and parody have far more leeway. If a film is supposed to be funny and this is clear, then its statements are no longer taken seriously." But in any case, it is clear to the public that mocking a person based on accusations that have never been proven is a very wrong thing. If they did that to you, would you just sit quietly?
