Believe it or not, somebody had sued Grand Theft Auto San Andreas… wow, I would have never expected that. At least this is a funny lawsuit…

Who sued: The Play Pen - a strip club in LA

Why they sued: cause in GTA SA there is a strip club called “The Pig Pen.” See movie below…

Who won? Good news (thanks Gamasutra and Evil Avatar).

A U.S. federal court has dismissed claims by a strip club owner that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’ satirical depiction of the club infringes the club owner’s trademark.

The legal battle, which pits the real-life East Los Angeles establishment The Play Pen against the game’s fictional Pig Pen, has been raging for over three years.
…
“The San Andreas Game is not complementary to the Play Pen; video games and strip clubs do not go together like a horse and carriage or, perish the thought, love and marriage. Nothing indicates that the buying public would reasonably have believed that ESS produced the video game or, for that matter, that Rockstar operated a strip club.”
…
“Undeterred, ESS also argues that, because players are free to ignore the storyline and spend as much time as they want at the Pig Pen, the Pig Pen can be considered a significant part of the Game, leading to confusion. But fans can spend all nine innings of a baseball game at the hot dog stand; that hardly makes Dodger Stadium a butcher’s shop.”

I just love the crack on the Dodger Stadium…
