Here's a Youtube of the episode

The episode is funny and the irony...delicious. mmmm.

I didn't even know who she was until I looked it up.

 

[Ice]

Yeah, I saw this G4 the other day.

This woman is going to loose the case.

 

[Dr_Draco]

She's become old and irrelevent, hence the suit to get some media attention.

That's how I see it, anyhow.

 

[Random]

Yeah this is really stupid, your allowed to use any music/character/other material if its in the use of parody or satire, there was no copyright infringement here, as far as I can tell.

 

[Victor Von Doom]

It's just really ironic that she's suing for satire when she herself became famous for it.



And to top it all off....it's only a 3 second clip of her. This case will fade into obscurity and she'll lose.

So freaking stupid....

 

[MaxwellSmart]

God, this is a huge waste of time.

If Michael Jackson lost a case similar to Scary Movie 3 where it had him being poked fun at because it was parody, she'll loose because this is nothing but a parody.

Unless she keeps a tight hold on it.

Carol Burnet's thought process:

"I am shocked and appalled! This makes me look like a fool. Now how can I make sure as many people see this as is humanly possible?"

Yeah, raise a lawsuit which doesn't have a leg to stand on so even more people will see the clip and maybe even be interested in the show. That'll show 'em. Moron.
