Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain
CuteSteveJobs writes "Glenn Beck fought the law and the law won. Parody website DidGlennBeckRapeAndMurderAYoungGirlIn1990.com attacked Beck using the same straw man arguments Beck himself is famous for: 'We're not accusing Glenn Beck of raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 — in fact, we think he didn't! But we can't help but wonder ... Why won't he deny that he raped and killed a young girl in 1990?'
Beck didn't see the humour and tried to have the site shut down. He sued the creator on the grounds the site 'violated his name as a trademark.' But in a sudden outbreak of common sense, WIPO rejected Beck's complaint finding the site 'can be said to be making a political statement,' which is a 'legitimate non-commercial use' of Beck's name. But after winning, the owner voluntarily handed Beck the domain anyway. Still, it's comforting to know that satire — the only weapon politicians and talking heads fear — is still safely in the hands of the public where it belongs."

Has Glenn Beck denied having raped and murdered a young girl in 1990?
If not, why not?
I think it's pretty clear that this is an attack on the teabaggers, which have the left terrified, particularly after our huge victory in NY-23. We're going to take back this country, you see, for FREEDOM. For INDIVIDUALISM. For NO BIG GOVERNMENT.
Yea, I know that you guys call us "teabaggers" meaning it to be a pejorative, but like the term "yankee", we've made TEABAGGER our word and we now use it with PRIDE.
I think this internet meme was the best satire of Glenn Beck, until Jon Stewart joined in the fun.

Not only, as they say, does he refuse to deny having raped and murdered a girl in 1990, but he tries to sue to get the story buried? That does not sound like the act of an innocent man! And, time and again, Glenn Beck has declined to use his show to publicly deny, on the record, that he routinely BBQs and eats babies, saying minorities taste the best, as some reports indicate*.
*Well, just this one.
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI
So, Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990.
This is awful! Something has to be done about it!
It is highly debatable whether ripping off Gilbert Gottfried material can be considered at all intelligent.
Have you watched the show? The GP is correct in his assumption.
With the first link, the chain is forged.
It is not that broad. It applies only to the drooling retards who call themselves Glenn Beck fans. The other retards who call themselves Glen Beck fans are not implied.
It could even be argued that it implies that there are other people who are Glenn Beck fans and not drooling retards.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
I agree with that statement 100%. However, the point of this website was not to fight fire with fire, but to fight fire with satire. That is something altogether different. However, one could legitimately ask if this kind of humor is lost on its intended audience as it requires something of an ability to objectively evaluate arguments, rather than simply agree with everything that person A says. Thus the real effect of such satire may just be preaching to the choir, while enraging those predisposed to defend Beck.
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
beck/ limbaugh/ fox traffic in lies, propaganda and demagoguery.
Funny. The
numbers
show just the opposite. You can bitch and moan all you want, but numbers don't lie. So if the numbers don't lie and you are saying the opposite... what does that say about you?
Do you have something against a news network that actually gives those that you disagree with a fair shake?
(Granted, commentators like Hannity are NOT news. But as far as the actual NEWS goes, Fox NEWS was by fair the most "fair and balanced" of any network, at least in regards to the last election. Like I said, numbers don't lie.)
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
there are other people who are Glenn Beck fans and not drooling retards.

This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Hey, hey, HEY... Not fair - to subhuman, poo-flinging primates. My stuffed Gorilla is very nice, though I believe he would target his poo at Glenn - and the Fox News "commentators" in general - but that's his First Amendment right...
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
All Beck had to do to make this go away was prove he didn't kill and rape or rape then kill a girl in 1990, how hard is this to do? Just show us the proof. Show the death certificate that says you didn't rape her
I Googled it, there are't any.

your gravity fails and negativity don't pull you through
I like beck. Perhaps you are too educated for your own good.
That's right citizen. Ignorance is strength.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
(this same sort of thing was tried with Ann Coulter, because she does the same shit. Unfortunately it didn't go anywhere because people actually believed she was a transsexual.)
...Ann Coulter's not a transsexual?
How can you like a man who raped and murdered a young girl in 1990?
At least Rush isn't an alleged rapist/murderer.
If Glen would only call and confirm or deny the charges, these nasty rumors would go away. It breaks my heart that he refuses to.
sed "s/SJW.*$/... never mind. I was about to say something stupid, and also, I'm a troglodyte./Ig"

Is didglennbeckrapeandmurderayounggirlin1991.com taken?
I'm not saying it is or isn't taken, I'm just saying that a lot of Americans are interested in this question, and somebody needs to ask it.
Oh, I know, some of you are saying "Hey, why not just use nslookup?" Did you know that's part of the "BIND" -- now there's a scary name if there ever was one -- package from Berkeley? Have you ever thought about what the "N" and the "S" stand for? Did you that there's a magazine called "New Socialist" -- and they're now online?
Don't you think this is all pretty interesting?
Oh, and whether or not didglennbeckrapeandmurderayounggirlin1991.com is taken .... gb1990.com is. In fact, they're carrying -- and I know this is a little spooky -- the same content that was at didglennbeckrapeandmurderayounggirlin1990.com. Now that's a pretty interesting fact right there, isn't it? I'm not saying what's there is or isn't "true", but I hope Mr. Beck comes clean about these charges, because if he's innocent, we need him without this cloud over his head.
Tweet, tweet.
Beck is an infantile baby.
That's the best kind! Senile babies are an entirely different beast...

I just read that, and in my head, it was Dwight Schrute's voice. I'm pretty sure that he is now the Official Voice for your posts.
Thanks!
Why hasn't Glenn Beck denied being a transexual? I mean if he wasn't he'd just say so right? It's time for someone to ask the tough questions here!
