Slappie 9 #1 January 5, 2005 Site wins right to dub Evel Knievel 'pimp' Knievel says he will appeal ruling CNN Story QuoteSAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel cannot sue a Web site that published a photo of him with two women above a caption reading "You're never too old to be a pimp," a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday. The term "pimp" was probably intended as a compliment, the court said. But Knievel said, "What good is law in the United States of America if five or six goddamn bimbos are going to rule against it?" The Montana native sued after ESPN, a subsidiary of Walt Disney Co., published a photo of the famed stunt driver at the Action Sports and Music Awards in 2001 with his arms around his wife and a second young woman. (more)... Dude when I'm his age I'd love to be called PIMP! Hell I'm not pimp now "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Shotgun 1 #2 January 5, 2005 Maybe he's not up on the times and doesn't realize that being called a pimp is now a cool thing. Or maybe he didn't like the fact that it implied his wife was a whore??? Ya know, I've always wanted to change my last name to Knievel.... Keely Knievel would sound cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
