Ubisoft looking to do something awful to...Something Awful over Jade Raymond parody cartoon. (NSFW?)

Ubisoft Attorneys Target Graphic Parody of Assassin’s Creed Spokeswoman

Several readers have alerted us to a developing legal situation involving Ubisoft and the Something Awful website.

Apparently an SA forum user posted a link to a pornographic parody cartoon based on game designer Jade Raymond (left), who has been Ubi’s point person for the highly anticipated new Xbox 360 title, Assassin’s Creed.

Ubisoft’s attorney demanded that the offending image be removed and the identity of the person posting it be turned over. Something Awful owner Richard “Lowtax” Kyanka posted a response indicating that the image was only linked to, not hosted on, his site.

It is unclear where the case will proceed from here.

GP: We’ve checked out the cartoon; it’s quite vile. Can’t blame Ubi or Ms. Raymond for reacting strongly… On the other hand it may enjoy fair use protection as a parody.

Apparently, Jade didn't like being called a whore. Who knew that would bother someone?

It's just too bad that I went ahead and liked the game without even given a shit about who she was, otherwise I might have gotten a BJ out of it from her, huh?

I was looking for that comic to post along with this, but I can't seem to find it now. I will continue to search for it, but just felt like posting this little bit of info up.

EDIT: Found it.

Wait... she DOESN'T like being called a whore? WTF. Waste of my time then.

Dude, I don't blame her for being upset. While my cock would appreciate if she really was a game developer and a whore, this was kind of fucked up. Besides, my imagination tells me that Jade looks nothing like this photoshop when naked. So I would be offended if I were here based on that alone.

I can't blame her for being kind of upset about the images. But taking legal action is a bit much.

 about me

What can I say? Basically, I've been playing video games almost my entire life, currently 25 years old, starting all the way back with the Atari and moving on up over the years. I loved playing with the Atari, but my "hardcoreness", I suppose you could say, didn't really set in until I got a Nintendo Entertainment System.

Super Mario Bros. was great and all, but Mega Man is what solidified my love of gaming, at least that's what stands out the most reminiscing of my childhood of gaming. Also games like Super Mario Bros. 3.

My next console leap was to the Sega Genesis and sometime later I got the Super Nintendo. Super Nintendo was hands down the better of the two consoles in my eyes. The Genesis became an abomination toward the end of it's life cycle. I'd like to claim it was pure hardcoreness that led me to purchase a 32X and such, but honestly it was stupidity, heh.

I skipped the Saturn, wasn't a big fan of Sega at this point and honestly I didn't have any interest in anything on the system. I got a Playstation and eventually a Nintendo 64.

Playstation 2 was next and then eventually a Sega Dreamcast. The Dreamcast was a great system but still ended up failing, which sucks since it ultimately set Sega packing in the console making business. Playstation 2 was great. I got an XBox later and followed much later by a Game Cube.

This generation of consoles I have an XBox 360 and a Nintendo Wii. Both great consoles in their own ways. Don't yet have a PS3, I refused to purchase one until Yakuza 3 was announced for release in the US. It hasn't been officially announced yet, but it's not looking too bad. I may have a PS3 not long from now, but one positive thing about waiting so long is that I'll be able to pick up many great games for low prices if they came out a while ago.

I enjoy a lot of different games and genres. I play a lot of FPS, action/adventure, horror, etc. Love the Resident Evil series, Legacy of Kain series, early Mega Man titles, various wrestling titles, etc.
