Boll Sued By New York Post

On one hand the New York Post really needs to loosen up and laugh a bit, yet on the other hand I hate Uwe Boll. No, there is nothing more to that statement. I hate Uwe Boll. I think he is a hack of a director and has no skill. He has found a way to make money making bad films and is prospering off of it, and he is tarnishing the name of videogames everywhere. So if the suit costs Boll something, more power to the post then.

From the article:

Uwe Boll Watch is here with the latest in breaking Uwe Boll-related news! Timestamp: July 31, 2007. The setting: New York City, New York. The mood: Danger and legal intrigue. The New York Sun (via Boll-following blog BollBashers) is reporting that rival paper New York Post is suing video game movie adaptation director Uwe Boll.

Uwe's latest flick, Postal, has already drawn all sorts of criticism for its brash, parodic nature, but this is the first we've heard about any legal action being taken. The suit is directed at two Postal movie websites that are take-offs on the New York Post website.

According to the Post's suit, the websites go past the point of parody and flat-out steal from the Post, including use of trademarked logos. The Post is asking that Boll turn over the domains to the New York Post and no longer be allowed to use them for promoting his film. The Sun reports that they are also seeking monetary compensation for damages, but the exact amount is unknown.
