Mr. McMahon and his Ass are in some deep shit
 
The creators of the animated series "Assy McGee" have a filed a lawsuit against WWE over the "Mr. McMahon's Kiss My Ass" cartoon, which debuted recently on WWE.com. "Assy McGee" is an animated sitcom featuring Assy McGee, a vigilante police officer who is literally a walking pair of buttocks. The series premiered on November 26, 2006 for the Cartoon Network's late-night "Adult Swim" block.

Michael Cole, who oversees WWE.com, asked one of his staffers to come up with a creative idea that Vince McMahon would like. Whoever came up with the idea decided to rip off the Adult Swim show. Furthermore, a few of the storylines used for the McMahon cartoon were blatantly stolen from "Assy McGee." To make matters worse for McMahon, the Cartoon Network is owned by Turner Broadcasting, his old rival. Also, they can't even really take this to court since they've got no defense whatsoever.

Regarding Vince McMahon's original thoughts on the cartoon, McMahon thought it was the best thing ever because it was a cartoon about his own buttocks. However, when he found out about the lawsuit, he became infuriated to say the least. Michael Cole, who had hired a separate Flash animator to produce the cartoon full-time, and was also working on t-shirts, claimed he'd never even heard of "Assy McGee." This didn't fly too well because it appears that WWE will have to pay for the mistake in the form of cash to Turner.

Due to this incident, Michael Cole is said to be in serious trouble and there is a chance he'll be fired as head of WWE.com. However, his Smackdown announcing job is not in jeopardy.

Heard this on PWInsider (elite radio) so there is talk that this is true. (In case of any "WTF kinda source is that" responses...)

Doesn't that just sum up the entire WWE right now?

A valid excuse in WWE.

Rammsteinmad 01-01-2007 08:15 PM

Lol. I wish WWE got in trouble like this more often. I find this quite funny to be honest.

So Mr McMahon's ass is 'up shit creek'?

KingofOldSchool 01-01-2007 09:31 PM

Lol, this is the best title for a thread i've ever seen.

As for the topic itsself, all i can say is that karma's a bitch. I have no sympathy for Mcmahon and he can be sued for all his money for all i care.

This brings me great joy. Thank you lawsuits. Thank you for once being on my side.

In Cole's defense, seriously, why the f*ck would someone want to know about something named Assy McGee?

M-A-G 01-02-2007 07:19 AM

And are we just going to ignore the whole premise of them fighting over CARTOON ASSES or is it a viable concept for an animated program?

Skippord 01-02-2007 10:37 AM

Its apparently a viable concept for 2 animated programs

So you don't get sued would be one good reason to know about it

Ignore? That's what makes it so GREAT!

I guess, there's no better place to showcase this:
