  3. GTA dev sued by psychics
http://www.thewrap.com/grand-theft-auto-makers-sued-by-psychic-readers-network-over-miss-cleo-doppelganger/

Rockstar and Take Two Interactive are being sued in federal court by the Psychic Readers Network because a character in GTA Vice City (Auntie Poulet) is too close in resemblance to Miss Cleo. PRN allege that Poulet infringes on their copyright of the Miss Cleo character and are seeking unspecified damages.

First it was Lindsay Lohan, now this? Never mind that Vice City came out in freakin' 2002 and that Miss Cleo herself lent her voice and personality to the game. They're kinda undermining their own network by claiming ownership of the Miss Cleo "character", in that they're implying that they're all phony.
I thought they were sued by physics.

They don't seem very good at what they supposedly do for a living. Couldn't they forsee that coming and stop it before it happened?

Also, to elaborate, I thought this was going to be a Helix topic and the topic body would be him posting a video of some weird GTAV physics exploit.

The funnier part of this, Auntie Poulet was voiced by the same "actor" that did Miss Cleo, just sayin ;)

Oh they admitted the whole thins was a scam a long time ago, iirc, after a bunch of lawsuits towards the end/after Miss Cleo's departure (because she was getting paid peanuts).
Witty game-related comment.
