Yelp Sues South Park

Well, not really. But this satire site has an interesting take on a recent South Park episode that targeted Yelp:

http://nbc.com.co/yelp-sues-south-pa...-over-episode/

South Park creators responded quickly:

“We’ve taken a hard look at the information presented to us, and after reviewing it, we have given Yelp and their lawsuit only one star. Their lawyers delivered us legal documents in a very unprofessional manner; not bothering to smile or even a quick handshake. The writing on the envelope was barely legible and in two different colors. It is our personal opinion that Yelp could do a much better job by not suing us for ten million dollars.”

Yes, it is satire. Funny? You decide.

    It's a satire site but it's an interesting take: "rating" a lawsuit is a good angle.

    This is a pretty good thread, I'm thinking a 3 Star... But you know what would make it a 5 Star? Giving me a "Thanks."

    bahahahaha

    Great episode!

    I don't think Yelp has a leg to stand on. They are just butt hurt. What worries me is the fact that yelp often makes or breaks a business by user comments. I think if Yelp where to sue the only thing they could sue on is copy right. But that can be argued that free speech and expression much like a political comic strip in the local news paper. If anything I think Yelp should stop complaining cause they got free publicity from one of the most popular cartoon shows in history. their website visits probably dubbed as a result.
