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.

Typically, when it comes to videogame ads at least, actors don't usually do a good job of promoting a game. That's not the case here with these SimCity ads, thankfully. Actor Adam Devine of Workaholics fame did a few promos for the game and they're all pretty funny. Fancy that.
