If thats what they did then they deserve to be sued. It's distastful and pregidicial specially in the case of Mr. Jackson (50cent)

Mr Curtis, what about those who are offended by your very existence and the kind of image you portray? Who do they sue?

If that's the same ad company that does the 'mosquito zapper' ad, then I hope he kills them all in a drive-by.

I'd like to sue 50 Cent because I am offended by his music, his movie, his games and himself.

Gotta agree with him on this. It's one thing to concent to being used in a game (hey he didn't write the code so the game being crap isn't his fault in the least) and entirely another for someone to assume they can use you to make them money. First thing I'd have done was look in my wallet, go "Hmmm nope not a penny from them" and sue.

Did the nasty advert man make fun of you, little Fiddy?
You just tell your Mum on him. She'll sort him out.

For a dude who's supposedly been shot half a dozen times, he seems a little thin skinned.

Hatred of 50 fighting with hatred of crappy interactive adverts.....

I hope that this is a tight legal battle that is costly to both sides and eventually leads them both to a life of pain and suffering.

Monkeys are expected to file a class action lawsuit over this very same issue next week.

penhalion agrees with 50 Cent? I guess you have a shot at developing his next mindblowing videogame then, heh :)

Wait so interactive ads are video games? So much for nintendo bring gaming to the masses! Also isn't there some kind of poetic license taken in animation and parady otherwise couldn't all the politicians of the 1980s sue spitting image? Even Tom 'i'll sue any one who mentions my name' Cruise hasn't sued south park for that scientology episode.

"I'd like to sue 50 Cent because I am offended by his music, his movie, his games and himself. "

His first album was quite good, but his material after has been extremly medicore, plus his gunit group have pretty much fell off

Whovever shot him, whether 9 times or 7, did a pretty lousy job. That or Fiddy has an exceptionally bulletproof body!

I bet you every other rappers going to run up & flash a camera in his face after this blows over.

He's so fake, it's like bubblegum disguised as chocolate.

He's not been shot 9 times, just shot at. His former friend and now rival The Game has been hit by more bullets (and he likes to bring this up a lot).
