Ubisoft sues webmaster of SomethingAwful
Yep, it was bound to happen, with the internet still buzzing about Jade Raymond and Assassin's Creed, numerous articles and images have surfaced referencing her as being "sexy". Yes, that's right, the Assassin's Creed figure-head is attractive and the internet has decided to come forward and say it. Heaven forbid.
Well apparently both Ubisoft and the vixen in question have decided to blame Richard Kyanka, the webmaster over on SomethingAwful.com for infringement of Assassin's Creed Mark and Jade Raymond's Person, Privacy, and Publicity Rights.
You can check out the full Article on the forums of SomethingAwful. I'd recommend reading some of the forum posts, they're pretty funny.
Oh, but before you do, perhaps it would be wise of you as intellectual readers to go to the source of the comic. You know, as opposed to quickly lashing out at the first forums board you found with the image.
T3h Dave over at Chugworth made the comic as his update earlier in the week. It's still hosted on his site, and heck he's continuing to parody the whole thing (as he should).
Comic in Question (Vastly NSFW, depicting rather morally depraved acts of hilarity)
It's not hard to find where the image came from, thus I question Ubisoft in their rather Cheney'ish firearm aiming. Perhaps if they really feel the need to sue someone, they should target the person actually guilty of defamation. So theoretically T3h Dave could be held libel for the comic, though the first part about Infringement of Assassin's Creed Mark... Well reviewing the comic thoroughly I can't seem to find any copy of the Assassin's Creed Mark. While the font used on the bottom right panel is similar to the actual font it is clearly different than the official version seen here.
Now I'm not condoning the comic in any way whatsoever, but I do wish Ubisoft went about the process in a more legitimate fashion. But maybe I'm wrong and this lawsuit will cause everything to collapse and the mental image of the comic to be ripped from everyone's mind. I highly doubt it.
