If it's that easy, book a ticket to L.A., go to the beach, pick a girl, get her a TV show and endorsement deals.

You and she will make millions.

I'm defending intellectual property rights. And clearly, I'm smarter than you.

If Melissa has different highlights in her hair, are you OK with her starring in a commercial?

This, definitely this.

This should be a prime argument for the defense. This girls is hella hotter than KK.

Fair enough. I guess we better start keeping a database of what every famous person looks like and decide how close to that image someone can be before we deem it against the law. I think the DirecTV girl looks like the Olson twins (if they were healthy). I guess DirecTV can expect a lawsuit any day now.

Since you've refused to read my prior statements, here you go:

Aaaaaaaaaaaand you still don't get it

When someone is only in it for the money.

Any way to make money, that family will do it.

I swear to God, this forum is filled with some of the dumbest ****ing people on planet Earth

Oh my bad. I honestly forgot to go back and read it. So if the girl wasn't made up to look more like Kim than she already does, GAP wouldn't be getting sued?

GAP would have been sued, regardless.

They made the commercial with the intent.

Look, I'm not an expert at the behind-the-scenes advertising pitch like TinyEvel, but I will tell you that it takes nearly an act of God to get a commercial from storyboard to airing. Everyone wants to have a say to quantify and qualify themselves. It's (IMO) a grinding process and there's no way in the world that this was conceptualized, budgeted, cast and shot with a Kardashian look-a-like by accident.

I tend to agree with you. However, objectively speaking, who was being impersonated in other countless similar GAP or Old Navy commercials? Given the fact that those exist, it shouldn't be as obvious of a case as you make it. You could almost claim that out of 20 commercials and 200 models, one simply happened to look like Kim.

For the most part, The GAP has hired actual celebrities.

They failed to do so with KK and paid the price. That said, it most likely generated more pub for them than if they had actually hired her.

I'm not sure I heard this correctly, but did she just name her child Northwest? I really don't get the fascination with this group of people. I wish people would spend more time on..well anything else...all the attention towards these idiots just seems like a waste...

I can honestly say, and am doing this solely for posterity reasons, that I could give 2 ****s about Kim Kardasian, the Gap or some actor.


Why anybody would think that this premadonna would make my shit list is silly.

I don't normally say this, but I agree with Dane... because he's entirely right.

It's unbelievable how obtuse you guys are being over something that is really pretty simple and obvious.

"You can't intentionally use someone's likeness"

"So looking like a celebrity is now a crime?"

:facepalm:

People are just mad because Kim is another 'famous for being famous' person. I don't hate kim. She's a nobody to me personally. I stick with hating the limp brained idiots who make her famous for nothing. The lemmings that celebrate celebrity. You guys are the problem. Kim is 'howard stern famous' in that she's just as famous because of people who hate her as she is for her bubble headed fans.

Looking like someone is not a crime. Hiring someone intentionally for the purpose of misleading an audience IS NOT OKAY!!
