"Conan O'Brien shouldn't mess with bodybuilders. NBC Universal was sued yesterday after the "Late Night" host used a picture of champion bodybuilder Dennis "The Menace" James to tell a joke nearly two years ago."

Full court complaint at:

That's a nuisance value suit.  If he gets $20K he'll be lucky.

who owns the image of a picture taken at the Olympia?  dennis should just shut the fuck up...before somebody rats on him for stealing all that recorded music over the years and not paying for it.  plus isn't "dennis the menace" a copyrighted name ?

We don't.  Then bodybuilders will be unable to use steroids.  Without steroids, professional bodybuilding will be more of a joke than it already is....

I'm aware of the low amounts of money the majority of pros make now....however....I don't think natural bodybuilders can bring any money in...

Correction: They would have to mask their steroid use. Just like is happens right now in other sports.

Of course they would try.  However, the alternative steroids/undetectable steroids are not nearly as effective as the readily available proven ones....which will have a severe impact on the physiques we would see...

Yeah him and Milos got into some trouble. They held the Grand Jury here where I live back in 2004 where many pros testified. I guess nothing ever came out of it though.

Mr. James is suing for, among other things, "unjust enrichment and quantum meruit," which sound like the two steps before Iran has the bomb but are actually legal terms: "Unjust enrichment" asserts that Mr. O'Brien profited, in an unjust fashion, from his Clay-Aiken-wants-to-have- gay-sex-with-black-men jibe, and "quantam meruit" is a Latin term which translates roughly to "as much money as my shady-ass shark can squeeze out of you simps."

hahaha did O'Brien write this article himself?
