@zanzibarlegend: Now that's what I call great advertising.

I thought they were going to do something about this moron tying up the system with frivolous lawsuits. Or perhaps that's another batty inmate I'm thinking of.

Garonyldas

I could've sworn that someone knocking you out and taking your gold Jesus cross is because you're wearing a freaking gold cross in a prison.

enigma89

This guy takes doing it for the lulz to the next level.

Hi_C

Wow, just wow.

KM91

I bet GTA is responsible for the earthquakes that have shaken Illinois and Missouri several times today, too.

DorkimusPrime

There's a meme in here somewhere.

Silverbackne

This guy is legendary when it comes to insane lawsuits - no surprise here!

I wonder how many francs that Gold Jesus Cross is worth...

Where's natural selection when you really need it?

This guys frivolous law suits are probably like the funnies in the Sunday paper to his local judicial system.

Eclectified

Maybe he's just a bored guy in prison who has nothing better to do? His lawsuits have made him pseudo-famous, after all.

Ackart

This guy is one of my favorite people on earth. I stumbled on his wiki a year ago and laughed hysterically for 3 days straight.

Tetelestia

@Jonax:"Who sued Ben Affleck for paying taxes, because some of them were used to "support his illegal incarceration" (i.e. keep him in jail)"
I like that one. You can't blame the guy for trying. If he keeps firing off random frivolous law suits, he's bound to wind up with so cash eventually. Hell, if I lived in America Land, I'd probably be doing the same.

Jackablade

Seeing as how a good proportion of GTA fan kids might just end up in jail someday for punching some granny in the face for no reason whatsoever, I don't think GTA fans should be laughing at this guy.

Soldrak

i don't know what to say about that. lawsuits against inanimate objects; it's the new black.

@Gomerboy: They would own the Earth, Milky Way, the Universe, Heaven, and Hell!

Fireblast

Paying out the money in Swiss Francs would be pretty pointless, as "my currency" is just as much worth as your dollars. Perhaps he's a big fan of bright colors? At least this would make some sense, then. Anyway, this made my day in the office, thanks Kotaku.

Al Bino

This is a guy who sued Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie for being behind the kidnapping of Madeline McCann as part of a conspiracy to adopt a child from each country in the world.

Who sued NASA for copyright infringement of jet fuel, space suits, and moon rocks.

Who sued Puff Daddy for assault...after the guy had tried to steal PD's credit cards.

Who sued Ben Affleck for paying taxes, because some of them were used to "support his illegal incarceration" (i.e. keep him in jail)

The list goes on, and on, and on. [news.justia.com] I've no idea whether he is actually bats--- crazy, or just trying to abuse the legal system, but this guy makes me feel sorry for JT for the amount of flak he gets (which is an achievement).

Jonax

dude should have his sueing rights revoked.

joelface

The guys is clearly clinically bat-shit insane. How does someone who should clearly have a little rubber cell to himself get to file suits like this? How does he pay for them? I assume each court just throws them out and asks him to stop wasting time? People here have some good ideas though. If someone could convince this guy to go after Jacky boy, then we've got us some top drawer entertainment...

shufflemoomin

hahaha what a great story, it made my friday morning, i kinda hope he wins some money just for the sheer stupidity of it

Raikkenon

Why are we even paying paying attention to this guy?

StartRunning

If he wanted his 15-minutes of fame... he got alot more. However it would be amusing to see a show based of this guy. Awesome.

Kaizuden

So many flavours of tooty fruity. His cell should be upgraded to one of those fancy padded ones.

holytramp

It would take him 30-60 minutes depending on traffic and time of day to get from the prison to my house.

or like 15 minutes for him to go enjoy a nice day at bush gardens europe/water country usa.

ArmyofJuan

@KeroseneClimax: He just wanted the bat kept away from him. He didn't sue it per se.

Honestly, who *wouldn't* want baseball bats kept away from them? Think of Smash Brothers.

deathbunny

Lock this guy away (er, scratch that, KEEP him locked up) and throw away the key. He's either insane, or so desperate for attention that he's filing nonsensical lawsuits that have no chance of ever panning out.

GhostWhoWalks

And this is why I love the term bat-shit crazy. 63,000,000,000 billion dollars? What the hell is going on in his head? Is all the wiring properly-*...Nevermind. This is a guy who sued a baseball bat.

KeroseneClimax

@Ra on the A-Team:
EXACTLY!

wtf...a bat!

I suing magazines...for...I shouldn't have to flip pages.

Beyene

What a douche bag.

VishusBurn

He looks a bit like Bret from Flight of the Conchords.

frostcircus

He should ask for $5000 or less, then he might at least get on Judge Judy and be bitched out on TV.

Course then he'd sue Judy for some insane fantasy scenario where she had traveled back in time and stolen his 5th grade English homework...

PeterBeck

Ha! He was incarcerated on wire fraud! The Next-Gen article said he sued Michael Vick on ties to Al-Qaeda, but his celebrity lawsuits didn't stop there, he also went after Martha Stuart, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, President George W. Bush, Steve Jobs and Britney Spears. He needs to lay off the tube, his get-rich-quick schemes aren't working.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

Man. Prince has more facial hair than that guy. Why even grow anything?

CallMeRotten

How do you file a restraining order on a game? If this is possible, something is definitely broken.

dowingba

wow just wow and i thougt the minds of uwe boell , the head of ea and the guys who own sony defence force had wacked up minds

kotordeusexfan

In related news, Johnathon Riches released from prison on psych evaluation, searches name on Google.

ego531

I applaud him. I mean, most people join gangs, others find religion, some become librarians, and a few just rape people. This guy, he files amusing lawsuits. All things said and done he could be doing a lot worse.

Anemone

@DanteODiabo: I was gonna say the same thing. Jack Thompson and Riches here would make the ultimate duo.

Actually... That would make an awesome tv show...

MonkCanatella

@Gomerboy: That's like 1 billion butt-rapes and two packs of smoke from where he hales. I wonder if the conversion rate of USD to butt rape has been affected by the weak dollar or the weak sphincter. I guess we'll have to ask Sonic when Crecente gets back :)

okenny :)

Well I for one think the bat should cough up the francs. Hes been hoarding them for far to long.

Ra on the A-Team

@leetXcore: LMAO @ "ju-just...". That was pretty awesome :)

I don't see what's so crazy about this, I mean politicians are making similar leaps of logic. Surely Luke, you don't mean to imply those who rule us are just as disconnected from reality. I call shenanigans on your logic. Shenanigans!

okenny :)

63 billion billion is 63 quintillion dollars. Any company that had that much money would own the earth and everything in it.

Gomerboy

The human mind is an interesting thing indeed. I wonder how his can justify all of that.

Mokai

"Police! Poliiice! I found a copy of GTA within 500 feet of me! Arrest that disc! Poliiiice!"

ShaggE

Only one word I can think of to reply to this story with and that is "HA".

nochitright

Who is representing this guy? Jack Thompson?

DanteODiabo

63 billion billion dollars?

.glib

Damn it, GTA.

Ju-just...damn it.
