Yep, this information is accurate.  I'm sure Lou had asked his brother to change the name before taking legal action.  Apparently his brother's wife was suffering from cancer at the time of the lawsuit.  In an MD, Lou's brother called Lou a scumbag in the letter section.

On PBW, when Bob asked Lou about the suit, Lou said he didn't want to talk about it, citing it was a personal matter - as if suing someone publicly is a private affair.  ::)

20 bucks, wasn't that his price for a signed autograph or to go on a picture with him?

yeah, there was an ice cream store in my town called 240 Flavors.  When I found out they were using my name, I tried to extort them for a lifetime supply of free ice cream.  When they declined, I poured deer urine on their front doorstep at irregular intervals until the odor destroyed their customer base and they went out of business.

should have used Lou Ferrigno urine, much more vile and repulsive.  Better yet, just put up a picture of him...
