<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Buster Gunning follows the shocking drama surrounding Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade and the recent court order giving him ninety days to change his name.Actor Kadeem Hardison, who once played the smooth flip down glass wearing character Dwyane Wayne on the quasi-hit ?Cosby Show? spin-off ?A Different World,? has won a critical court case against shooting guard Dwyane Wade. A case that went all the way up to the Supreme Court.The court order states that Dwyane Wade?s name sounds too similar to that of the former television character Dwayne Wayne. Because the two are so similar, Wade must change his name within ninety days and if he chooses to keep his given birth name, he must pay out royalties to actor Hardison every time his name is mentioned on television or in print.Hardison pled to the court that he would certainly go broke if he wasn?t able to use his famous television characters name for special promo appearances such as new Jiffy Lube openings, reality show guest appearances, half-time giveaways at athletic events and various other revenue generating activities.Justice Sutter delivered the dissenting remarks for the case simply stating:?I am not sure if we can rule in favor of Kadeem Hardison, I have never even heard of him, let alone seen that show.?Wade is said to be considering new names. One report stated that Wade is attempting to base his new name from his nickname ?flash.? The shooting guard was set on changing his name to Flash Gordon. Unfortunately, the name has already been used.</div>RealGMThe guy forcing him to change it is being a real McAsshole. I think it is really dumb how he has to change it even though the names aren't even spelt or pronounced the same.
Wow, that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of... Just because Wade's name sounds similar, he has to change it? Completely and utterly ridiculous! I would understand it if perhaps their names were identical, but just because they sound the same? That is retarded.It also makes you wonder how horrible the actor is doing financially if he was really willing to sue over THAT...I wonder what Wade will change his name to, or if he will just decide to pay the royalties.EDIT: Never mind, it's not true... I guess nobody read the bottom of the fake article where it says The preceding article was a piece of satirical fiction....

That was really gay....but then I read it was fiction.If it wasn't fiction, it would have been the dumbest thing ever.
LOL y'all got faked. RealGM does a lot of those satrical fiction. Always look for those at the bottom of articles.
yea. i actually thought it was real because there are idiots out there these days.. like the people who sued mcdonalds because it made them "fat." i mean wtf. and they actually gave them the money. whatever. it's not that hard to believe nowadays.
That still doesn't make this realistic, especially since the guy's name didn't even match Wade's. Also count in it's his birth name, the McDonald's case can't even brought up in this. They lost the case, even though they got money.

It's, for the most part, a site full of immature individuals, and only about 15% of them explain their answers. They must have more 1-liners than "Who's Line is it Anyway?"
