Dilbert Hole now Closed Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-was-only-a-matter-of-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Dilbert Hole now contains an image of the letter they received and an explanation about why the site is now down. " For those who missed it, the Dilbert Hole was terribly offensive parody of Dilbert. Doncha hate seeing Lawyers win?

    Doncha hate seeing Lawyers win?

    Actually, Rob, I hate the fact that the lawyers were right in this case. They just lifted the strips and changed the text on them. Let's forget for a moment that it wasn't even funny (you can be offensive and funny, this wasn't). It saddens me that people like this (the ones who made the strip and the ones who posted it) are around, because it means there really is a legitimate reason for lawyers.

    And before everyone cries parody, I think you're stretching it a bit. I can't just take a videotape of Star Wars, replace the audio track with my own script and distribute it as "parody". Parody only covers you so far.
