Carol Burnett Is Pissweak

Well it appears lately that actress Carol Burnett cannot take a joke, and is suing the team behind Family Guy for a stint they did in one of their episodes, portraying her as a worker in a pornography store. CNN says:
In a suit filed last week in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Burnett and her Whacko production company seek more than $2 million for alleged copyright infringement and other claims. In July 2005, "Family Guy" producers were refused permission to use Burnett's well-known theme music from her long-running former CBS TV show in an episode of the animated series titled "Peterotica," according to the suit. That's when they decided to cook up some paybacks, it claims. "After permission to use Ms. Burnett's theme music was denied, plaintiffs are informed and believe that Fox caused the 'Peterotica' episode to be rewritten to disparage Ms. Burnett, using Ms. Burnett's signature ear tug," the suit states.
$2 million? Is she serious? Not only is it a ridiculous sum of money, she wants it over a fucking ear tug, despite the fact that she did it whilst working in a porno shop. Hell, if they had of known this they could have at least had her in whorish lingerie, smoking a joint and selling shit to street kids, who are selling shit to younger street kids. Luke Perry is portrayed as a homosexual, Mila Kunis plays a character who consistently gets emotionally abused, even Allisa Milano even guest stars to insult herself. Yet a cartoon Carol Burnett tugs her ear and there's a lawsuit. Jesus Christ....
