So if some guy changes his name to "Ass Hole", he can start suing anyone who uses the term in a negative light?

I was wondering that, too. And what does this whole Andi Ass cartoon donkey that's the centre of his web site have to do with drunk driving, either?

Hmm... I should look into changing my name to "Donkey Fucker." Then, if Arminius ever comes back, I can take half the people on this board for everything they've got. :D

When I was in college, there was a guy there whose name was B. J. Mowbloe. It was really bad. Then again, there was also someone whose family had been from Vietnam and who had named him "Phuc" (pronounced incorrectly).

Yeah, imagine poor Phuc with a last name like Yu. I can imagine what it was like in Kindergarden when the teacher asked what his full name was.

If some guy has an embarrasing name, I don't know why they simply change it, instead of complaining.

Perhaps this Jack Ass guy thought up of a movie first with him as the star, called "Jack Ass: The Movie". That'll probably be his excuse.
