It's known (in the gaming world, at least) that famed game film maker
Uwe Boll likes to push people's buttons, but now it looks like he picked on the wrong people, and they're taking him to court.
In what may be a clever attempt to get back at the New York Post for publishing negative things about one of his movies, Boll made two websites that look similar to the Post's web site to promote his game-turned-film
Postal. The conflict between Boll and the Post began on April 15th, when the Post published an article about the movie's release.
The brilliantly named
New York Postal is still up, and visitors to the site will notice the headline that mocks this very lawsuit (pictured above). The
other site mentioned is not anymore. We're not sure what happened there.
The Post says that Boll's web sites
represent "brazen and unlawful infringement of the New York Post's valuable intellectual property." They are asking that the sites be taken down, the domain names be transfered to them, and are also asking for unspecified damages.

he's the guy gamers want censored, meanwhile those same gamers bitch about censors on games...
he's like a monument to the stupidity and hopelessness of humanity..
maybe if you could accept uwe for who he is and the shitty movies he makes, then others like walmart and the esrb could accept mediocre games like manhunt 2 who are only regarded as worthwhile due to the controversy they produce?
then, maybe walmart might post pictures of the 5 year olds sewing your white-trash clothing with 'adopt me' signs, right up next to those missing or stolen american children...
but doubt it...
Only thing that comes close is the Harvey Dent stuff.
"Dr. Ann-Rose Kahn: Surprisingly, yes. The average Internet-Basher is male, single, between 20 – 30 years old. He has a low social competence, lives on the net. He has a strong homoerotic intention which he is unable to live out and distinctive inferiority complex. Most of these men still live at their parent’s home or close to it."
This also counts for fanboys stating which is 'better'.
Many more lulz to be made on that promo-site than on the original paper! Now leak the movie already.
