It's easy to say it wouldn't bother since Loren isn't doing it to me. All I know is I think that I'd have to laugh at it and be flattered if it did happen to me. Now, the second I started to lose some business over it, I'd lose that sense of humor.

So, who knows Mathew. All I know is it's funny. Not in a mean way. I don't know Shel, and have never met Loren, but the stuff is making me laugh, which is what a comedian/entertainer (Loren) is supposed to do.

By the way, is parody something you can be sued over? I'm no lawyer.

I found out about this one yesterday--perhaps a lot of people don't want to get involved in this particular slugfest because, either way you land, the fall-out won't be pretty.

I've met Feldman. He got pissy with me, I walked away, he apologized (he probably doesn't remember--I'm small potatoes and not some hot chick that would be all that memorable.) I was surprised and said "that's ok."

I've met Shel too--several times. He's been cordial in that older-generation p.r. guy kinda way.

O.K. folks to know, but, well....they are who they are...sorry to see things blow up this way. Whenever something escalates like this, no one looks good.

The only thing we should be taking away from this is to make sure you've picked up all the domains that could be a variant of your name. Esp. if you're kinda up there and could get parodied.
