Carol Burnett is Senile
“Where’s my $2 mill?”
Some will consider it greed, others will think it just a stunt to remind people that’s she’s not dead (yet), others will say that Carol Burnett wouldn’t have done something so inane unless she’s already suffering from dementia. For those of you who don’t know, Burnett filed a $2-million copyright infringement lawsuit against 20th Century Fox claiming the cleaning woman character she did decades ago was portrayed on the animated series “Family Guy.”
Not only that but according to her suit the character in the show also perform Burnett’s signature ear tug.
20th Century Fox had a pretty good comeback:
” ‘Family Guy,’ like ‘The Carol Burnett Show,’ is famous for its pop culture parodies and satirical jabs at celebrities. We are surprised that Ms. Burnett, who has made a career of spoofing others on television, would go so far as to sue ‘Family Guy’ for a simple bit of comedy.”
They could have just said, “Who are you anyway?”
Those who support the right of parody can only hope that this leads to a “South Park” segment.
