Cyrus sued for "rude gesture"

2009-02-16 by ninjuice | 49 Comments
Miley Cyrus (better known to the world as Hannah Montana and daughter of country musician Billy Ray Cyrus) is being sued for $4 billion by an Asian American woman who believes Cyrus made a supposedly obscene gesture in a photo.

The picture features Cyrus and several friends pulling their eyelids sideways with their hands, which many people believe is offensive to Asians.

The suit was filed last Wednesday by a woman named Lucie J. Kim, who lives in Los Angeles County, California. The lawsuit is a class-action case, and Kim is demanding at least $4,000 per individual plaintiff.

A Motion to Dismiss and maybe Rule 11 sanctions will quickly dispose of this ridiculous suit.

I'm getting really sick of politically correctness in this country.
And the fact that we have half the lawyers in the world. Estimates say that within 25 years, every person born in the US will be a lawyer.

The slanty-eyes pose is offensive and annoying to see, as when the Spanish national basketball team did it. It's not lawsuit worthy, but as someone of Asian descent (half, with lots of Asian family and relatives) it does stir a little hatred in me to see someone do that. Still the lawsuit is almost as stupid.

If you look at the photo, the Asian guy is making his eyes very wide or "Caucasian looking", obviously being in on the same joke. They're kids having fun giving each other shit in a photo which they took. Everyone in the photo appears to be comfortable with each other enough to laugh at common stereotypes. The lawsuit is a prime example of wasting time and taxpayer money.

I vote we drop this lawsuit and start up a new class-action suit against the young people in that photograph for exposing us to their skankyness.

Seriously, look at that picture, just fucking look at it. If Mylie Cyrus wasn't in that, I would swear they knicked it from the MySpace of some dude who friends porn site bots thinking they're real girls.

And yet there's an Asian guy in the picture...

Come on though it was just a couple wasted kids having fun. What if that was just a pic on facebook or something without Miley, nobody would be suing anybody.

iI was pissed that people were even mad about this, but a lawsuit? you have to be kidding me. It's not even funny it's just a waste of time. Judges have other cases to be worried about.

the Asian guy being there is kinda proof they AREN'T making fun of Asians, as it's really unlikely they're stupid enough to do it knowing how people might interpret it, especially with an Azn dude in presence.

You might as well sue Anime drawers for making fun of white people with their huge eye drawings

this is great. Didn't the ENTIRE SPANISH OLYMPIC BASKETBALL TEAM DO THIS. In their promotional photos none the less. This was on their way to Beijing. Yet this girl does it as a joke with friends and shes getting sued? Unreal.

man, these people are making mountains out of anthills. it's not that offensive to make that gesture, unless it's now offensive to portray stereotypical asians as yellow as well?

The people that abuse the legal system for a profit are worse than the ignorant fools that do racist shit when a camera's around.

Miley Cyrus did a stupid thing but it's not law suit worthy. This is America, stupidity is legal.
