Michael “Shagg” Washington, a “backup singer” with rap act Cypress Hill, has decided in 2010 to sue Grand Theft Auto developers Rockstar for a game they released in 2004. Why? He reckons he’s the star of GTA: San Andreas.

Washington, who says he only just heard about the game from his nephew, is basing his case on the claim that in 2003 Rockstar met with him to speak about his life growing up in gangs, during which time he told the developers, among other things, “how the teen-agers (sic) in his gang rode around on bicycles”.

TOTAL DAMAGES SOUGHT BY WASHINGTON = $250 million

I wasn't aware that he's an up-and-coming gang leader living in a state that's kinda-sorta like California that spends his free time by taking ATVs for joyrides off of high cliffs.

The best part is he said as teenagers they rode bikes, guess what, so did a lot of other kids.

It's kind of like this, but instead of a legitimate internet startup it's a hoodlum on a Huffy.

I was trying to put to words how dumb this is, but instead all I'm left with is "DUUUUUUUUUURRRRRN"
That is the god damned dumbest thing.

Well I rode my bike in 2002 so I think Mr.Washington actually owes me some money.

I've seen a lot of stories of people trying to abuse the legal system to get money they don't deserve, but this is just plain dumb. I'd like to believe this was just a publicity stunt on the part of the singer but sadly I think that's expecting a little too much in terms of how well thought-out this is.
